Wow.  So, the OKI OL 400e has a DB9 connector?  It also has a
parallel interface as well?

The System 6.0 LaserPrinter driver would be for an Apple brand laser
printer (some, but not all.  No idea which ones work, do not work). 
The OKI does not emulate it.

I am not familar with Write Away or Write It, but if they use the
GS/OS printer drivers to print, then you need the proper GS/OS
printer driver.  Vitesse's Harmonie has an HP IIP driver.  Try
Quality, Other World Computing or Vitesse itself.
