- There are no printer drivers for any Apple II application for the
- LaserWriter LS, including any ProDOS 8 application and the regular
- IIgs printer driver-type thing. They'd be about 3 times harder than
- the StyleWriter driver to write, and I wouldn't expect them anytime

- (This is why the LS material does not say the printer is compatible
- with the Apple II in any way, shape or form.)
