I've never tried it, but the C-Itoh 8510 driver is supposed to be able to
run the Imagewriter.  Point it at one of your serial ports and make sure the
correct settings (usually 9600 bps, 8/N/1, hardware flow control) are set
for the appropriate port in the Device Manager and you should be set.  Make
sure you use a null-modem cable (or a modem cable and a null-modem adapter;
this may be easier to find).

(Way back in the day, I shared an Imagewriter between my IIe and my 286,
running DR DOS 6.0 and DESQview.  By the time I picked up Win95, I had other
printers to use on x86 boxen.)
