- The GS would require a special driver to use the Personal LaserWriter LS.
- Unfortunately, Apple has not made such a driver available, nor have any third
- parties, so a LS is unusable with a GS at this point. What one has to do to
- print to the LaserWriter is (1) Get documentation as to how it receives
- bitmaps, and (2) write a driver. :-(
