     Here are some things to check:

Imagewriter and Printer drivers are in SYSTEM/DRIVERS.

In the DC Printer cintrol panel, port is Printer and Printer type is 
Imagewriter.

Printer is connected to Printer port.

All Appletalk drivers are removed from SYSTEM/DRIVERS.

SCC.Manager driver is removed from SYSTEM/DRIVERS.

Any AppleTalk Inits are removed from SYSTEM/SETUP as well as the main 
directory.

Closeview and other buggy Inits are yanked from SYSTEM/SETUP.

Any screen saver NDA's or CDA's are yanked from SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS.

Desktop is deleted from ICONS folder(s). 

     You can stick stuff you do not want to delete in a main directory 
folder named MISC.HOLD.

     Admittedly, the suggested "checks" represent a 'shotgun' approach. 
You may want to try just one or two at a time. If SCC.Manager is in your 
SYSTEM/DRIVERS folder, getting it out is a good bet for letting your 
printer connect.

     After setting things up the way you like, rebooting the system. 
Start CoolWriter and see if you get a printout.
