I've been away from the apple IIgs for a few years but have just run into a potential problem which you all may be able to help me with.  I had a Image write IItied to my daughter's IIgs which just burned up.  They want $235 to fix it. So I have declined to have it fixed.   I then hooked up the IIgs to a network of Mac's and a laser printer.  this works quite well for native IIgs programs but doesn't help at all for the native Apple ][ programs.  So my questions are:

1)	Is there any software that allows Apple ][ softwre to print to
	printers on a network?

2)	In the discussions regarding the harmony drivers and the deskwriter..
	will this combination work with Apple ][ software?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
