	Well...I do this all the time, but not with your exact setup tho.

	I have a PS/2-80 with an AppleTalk board from Daystar digital.  I send
files to "LPT3.PRN" which are then automatically sent to the LaserWriter by
the Daystar software, since LPT3 is my "network" printer.  

	So, I suspect it's a software difference, if this will not work for
you.
