Have you tried to see if loading the Imagewriter Emulator into the Laserwriter
will then work from Print Shop GS?

I don't remember if it works with this -- at first I seemed to remember
that it did, but now I seem to think that the Imagewriter emulator only
works with P8 based programs????  I don't recall..

Though I don't even know if the ImageWriter Emulator will work with a 
Laserwriter 320.. (what the heck is that?!)

BTW -- Imagewriter Emulator -- it's a program that runs *inside* of the
printer that will then let you print from many, many old-style programs
that just blast out the serial port ("slot 1", really) expecting to print to a
directly connected Imagewriter.
