There are no printer drivers for any Apple II application for the
LaserWriter LS, including any ProDOS 8 application and the regular
IIgs printer driver-type thing.  They'd be about 3 times harder than
the StyleWriter driver to write, and I wouldn't expect them anytime
soon.

(This is why the LS material does not say the printer is compatible
with the Apple II in any way, shape or form.)
