The last version of Windows to support printing to AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
printers was Windows 2000. XP does not have the ability.
Of course, the GDI to PostScript routine in Win2k is severly lacking.
It's limited to 300x300 DPI IIRC.

In a roundabout sort of way, it is. They are both 3 slot NuBus Macs. The

Yes, the IIg does autoswitching. It's got a SCSI port to add a HD for font
