Yes, that ought to work (although you may annoy other network users trying
to print to that same LaserWriter).

Also, you can use the AppleTalk call PMSetPrinter to first get the status
bits for your currently-selected printer and then turn off the "postscript
printer" bit, so that RPM (Remote Print Manager) won't send the _WBJ_ command
to activate the emulator each time you start a print job.

This approach has the advantage that you don't even need to load IWEM, and
you don't interfere with other users printing through the emulator.
