You'll be pleased to know that if you use the latest version or the
Apple IIgs system software (System 4.0), it can use any of those Appletalk
devices to print to without screwing up Mac access.  It used to be that
the drivers for the IIgs had to be compatible with the Mac drivers when
printing to the Laserwriter.  So if we came out with a new version of the
laserwriter drivers for the Mac, IIgs users were out of luck.  This is
no longer the case.  Simply use the chooser.II utility supplied with the
software to select the proper printer, and the rest is easy.

Another tip when printing over Appletalk.  Most older software doesn't
know how to print over a network, but it can be done.  Simply select
"Imagewriter" in the printer selection of whatever program that you are
using (say, Print Shop for example), and then say slot *7* for the interface
slot.  The IIgs will take care of the rest.  For really old pre-imagewriter
software, select Apple DMP or C.Itoh Prowriter (or Prowriter II).  These
settings will also work.  Tell me if you have any problems.  I print to
a LaserWriter IINTX from my IIgs everyday.
