I have a LazerWriter as a Macintosh printer.
I want to buy a second PC computer and use that very same printer
with it.  Is there a  driver for it?     Where?

Did anyone tried it before?       how did it go?

Because I am not a regular news reader, please e-mail 
your answer directly to me (tech@actcom.co.il)

TIA,


Jack

Jack, you didn't say WHICH specific LaserWriter model you have, but all
the ones I've used will work just fine with PCs.  We've got a couple old
LW Plus models and a LaserWriter II in our office, and they've been
switched to PC use with no problems.  You'll need a serial printer cable,
I believe, and the drivers are already available in your Windoze disk set.

Hope this helps.

Love the "Lazerwriter" touche with the Windoze.
Nice one centurion like it!
