That's a bit of a head-scratcher. I just put the network card in my IW and
flipped the right DIPswitch to turn it on and ran the installer. I can print
to the IW with my Mac, IIgs, and //e with workstation card. They all print to
my Laserwriter for that matter as well.
You didn't do anything obvious like install on the wrong volume didja?
