Well, the AppleLaserwriter printers are one of the standard printer drivers
shipped with Windows, so the driver problem is simple, or, use the Adobe PS
printer driver. Then just tell the system that it's connected to a serial
port...the standard Windows serial configuration should take care of that.
I've never set up a serial printer in Windows, so I don't know if it's in the
printer setup or (more likely) in the System properties for that serial
port...look in the System Control panel, that's where you would configure it.)
