I generally have no problems printing to an Apple Laserwriter IINT from Word for
Windows via PC-NFS/ethernet but I did have to choose the right printer port.

Windows gives me a number of ports to which I can configure printers. The last
one is lpt2.OS2: or similar (I can't remember the punctuation).

With my printer set up to that port things work pretty well except...

I can't seem to get the print manager to work in the background of my 386SX
machine - this may be an unrelated problem as I haven't tried very hard to solve
it yet.

(Note that our lw is attached to our unix server via a serial cable which may
mean that the above advice is irrelevant.)
