In Win3.1, use the CITOH 8510 printer driver.

Add the following lines to your autoexec.bat program:

   If using COM1:

      mode lpt1:=com1
      mode com1:96,n,8,1

   If your using COM2:

      mode lpt1:=com2
      mode com2:96,n,8,1 "

I have no personal knowledge of this information.  It is merely
gleaned from my personal A2 archives (I have an IWII and a PC but
they are not attached).  I also have the pinouts for a cable to go
from db-25 to mini-din 8 (not sure if would help for 9-pin serial).
