 The IBM PC and the LaserWriter use different stop/start protocols.
The LaserWriter uses XON/XOFF and the PC uses something else. I've
used two solutions:

 1] A speciallized card (e.g. MacBridge) that lets the PC use the
    Appletalk connector. (Handy if you also have a MacIntosh)

 2] A serial printer buffer that can convert the protocols (e.g.
    MicroFazer).

 The ultimate solution is to buy a LaserJet+ :-)
