The dec ln03 A drivers are in one of those two files.
So are drivers for a bunch of other DEC printers.
If the printers are not PLUS models they will need memory
expansion cartriges or they will not be able to use Windows
fonts.  Also, if they are not PLUS models, they will be
limited to 150x150 resolution instead of 300x300 (i think.)
  If you do use windows fonts, it will be extremely slow. 
The windows driver DOES support use of font cartriges.
