	You should've done that long ago!  $15 or less (much less usually) 
for a PhoneNet connector is easily worth it..

	You need no patch.  Simply select the printer with the graphic
Control Panel, and click on the "Imagewriter Emulator" button.  That will 
download the emulator, then you can print from basically any program that will
print to an Imagewriter, and it comes out on the laser printer you chose.
(the only program I recall that doesn't work was some reaaaaly old version of
AppleWriter.. there are a few others, but they are few and far between)
