The original StyleWriter can be used with a IIgs. The driver for it
is included with the IIgs System Software (v6.0 and v6.0.1 only, I
think). This printer can only be used from GS/OS programs that use
the Print Manager as the printer has no built in fonts. This means
you can't use it from classic AppleWorks or other 8 bit applications.
A word of caution, though. It must be the original StyleWriter as the
StyleWriter II cannot be used with a IIgs at all.
