Yes, it will. I used a LaserWriter IIg with my IIGS until the power 
supply went out in the IIg.

The LaserWriter driver that Bill mentions will work.

There is no SCSI on a LaserWriter IINT. There's two different serial 
ports, but no SCSI. SCSI was available on some of the other LW II 
models, but that was for hooking up external hard drives for font 
storage.  I believe that the only Apple LaserWriter that hooked up via 
SCSI was the Personal LaserWriter SC. And I'm not certain if that would 
have worked on a IIGS.
