LaserWriter Select 310: With PC Windows 3.1

I am trying to get a LaserWriter Select 310 to work with a PC running Windows v3.1. I have run through the installation for Windows and everything seems to be fine. However, when a job is sent to the printer, the LaserWriter Select just flashes its green light and nothing happens.
With the green light flashing, it seems that the printer is not receiving the CTRL-D (EOF) character that it needs to print the job. The CTRL-D should be taken care of by the Windows PostScript driver. The only other things to check are:

- The parallel cable is bad. There have confirmed reports of bad parallel cables "disabling" the printer. You might want to try at least a couple different cables.

- Incorrect installation of the software. A very important step is installing the Windows Postscript driver from Windows Disk #6 (this is step 10 and 11 in Chapter 1, page 9 of the LaserWriter Select 310 User's Guide). The latest PostScript driver version is at least v3.53.

- A bad or incorrectly configured parallel interface card. Apple has heard that some cards have configuration DIP switches or jumpers.

- A bad printer I/O board. Does the test page print? Does the printer work if connected to a Macintosh?
