Are you using 8-bit applications, or GS/OS applications? The former print to the serial port, and will override the printer settings all of the time. The latter should go through the GS/OS driver, but it is entirely possible that the developer got creative and by passed it (particularly for earlier software). So which applications are you using? As for the driver, I would think that the ImageWriter driver which comes with GS/OS supports the ImageWriter II. The OS certainly postdates the printer by several years. But the name may not indicate such (I don't think the ImageWriter driver for the Mac is labelled as ImageWriter II, though there is a separate ImageWriter LQ driver).
