A laserwriter can be connected to a GS via a serial connection or 
Appletalk.
In general the print quality will be 300 dpi because in general the fonts 
are built into the printer itself.
To use Appleworks it will end up printing through the Imiagewriter 
emulation, or using the Courier font.
Print Shop is more complicated because even thru the emulator, PS was 
designed for normal dot matrix printers so the output will still look like 
Imagewriter output.

How much a laserwriter is worth depends on the printer and where you're 
buying it.  Also note, some of the "Personal Laserwriter" printers will 
only work well with Macs because they don't support postscript.
