The Personal LaserWriter LS is a Quickdraw printer.  The MacOS printer 
driver for it draws the image on the Mac and then sends that.

The GS/OS Laserwriter driver will only support Postscript printers.
I don't think there's any way to use this particular version of the
Personal Laserwriter on the IIGS.  You'd have to upgrade the printer
to a Personal Laserwriter NT or NTR.

And I don't think it supports networking printing either.
