Tom,

A search of the Apple Tech Info Library turned up article number #15348.
Go to http://til.info.apple.com/ and search by the article number. I
used "Personal LaserWriter 320" and "Windows" as my search criteria.

**************************************************
The Personal LaserWriter 320 and LaserWriter 4/600 were designed to meet
the needs of home and small office customers, so cross-platform support
was not included or intended. Including this type of support would have
added unnecessary complexity and cost to the printer. Customers who are
looking for a printer to support both Macintosh and DOS/Windows
computers need to look at our other printers that provide this type of
support.

Since the Personal LaserWriter 320 does not have PCL4 capability or
Diablo 630 ECS emulation, customers with PCs who wish to print using the
Personal LaserWriter 320, need to use AppleTalk as the Protocol, and
PostScript as the page description language. Products such as CopsTalk
by Thursby Software Systems, Inc., and PCMacLAN for Windows by Miramar
Systems, Inc., provide the AppleTalk stack. Microsoft ships PostScript
print drivers with their operating systems.

In addition to necessary software, the printer must be connected to the
network. Ethernet is generally the network of choice, and a bridge
device is required to connect the LocalTalk printer to an Ethernet
network. Bridge products include iPrint adaptor by Farallon
Communications, Inc., and AsantePrint by Asante Technologies, Inc.

At this point, printing from Windows 95/98 via the Ethernet network
should be possible.
