This error means "parameter out of range", and I find it quite odd that
you should get it.  You might try reinstalling "AppleShare" from the 5.0.2
master disks just in case.

Don't use AW 2.0 - it has some problems with the IIgs.  I've printed from
AW 2.1 and 3.0 to the LaserWriter Plus across from my cube for over two
years without a problem.

The "network" isn't AFP anything - AFP is one of the AppleTalk protocols.
It matters if your *server* is AFP 2.0 or later, and I believe it is if you
can log onto it from an Apple II client.
