...the specs of the Personal Laserwriter because I set quite a few of them up, but I don't. It has been 6 years since I have seen one.

I know that the Laserwriter II, which came before the personal Laserwriter, had a parrallel port and there weredrivers for it to run under Windows. Not sure how you activated that port though - the default was the Appletalk port.

Does the printer have a parrallel port? If not you are probably out of luck.

In terms of drivers, the Apple Laserwriters used the same Canon engine as HP Laserjets used, so if you found the right HP driver(HP LJ III with Postcript I think) it should work fine.
