Do you know that this actually works?  Apple provided a pre-release
low-level SCSI driver to communicate with SCSI printers, but that
doesn't necessarily mean that they provided a Print Manager port driver
which hooked through to it (I haven't looked).

It also doesn't say anything about whether the IISC supports Postscript,
and I suspect it doesn't, hence the LaserWriter driver wouldn't work
with it anyway.
