Printing to an AppleLaserWriter LS

[geh2@cornell.edu (Gail Honness)]

While working on the Service HelpDesk yesterday I was contacted by a client
with the following problem:

This person has an Apple IIgs and an ImageWriter II.  She has recently
purchased a  Macintosh and a LaserWriter LS.  She would like to print to
the LaserWriter from the Apple IIgs.  The LW LS is not a networkable
printer(no AppleTalk port), therefore it requires a serial connnection to
the computer.  I am assuming that she can use a standard Apple serial cable
to connect the Apple IIgs and the LaserWriter LS.  The only problem I see
is getting the required software the Apple IIgs so that it can print to a
LaserWriter.  In the Mac environment you must have the print drivers
installed in the "System Folder" ,  does the Apple IIgs require special
printer drivers?  If so, where could we obtain a copy?  If not, what does
one have to do to print on the LaserWriter?

Thanks in advance for any information or assistance you might be able to
provide!
