I'm running a GS with AppleWorks 2.1 printing over ppleTalk to a LaserWriter
IINT.  I'm running ProDOS 8 version 1.8 (but previously ran 1.7).
 
This is what I did:
1. Set the control panel to slot 7 on AppleTalk and set slot 1
to "your card".
2. Plugged the LocalTalk cable into the printer port.
3. Copied the file "ATINIT" from System Disk 3.2 and put it on the root
directory of my ProDOS 8 boot disk.
4. Copied the Chooser II files to a subdirectory my ProDOS 8 boot disk.
5. Boot up (there is a slightly longer delay than usual for the ATINIT
file to be loaded - I guess ProDOS 8 does it automatically).
6. Run Chooser.II and select LaserWriter then select one of the LaserWriter
names that show up (we have two LaserWriters on the network).  It then
reports back "downloading ImageWriter emulator".
7. Run AppleWorks and set a new printer of type imagewriter, but named
"LaserWriter" and set on slot 7.
8. Print as usual.
