LaserWriter: Installing Driver On Non-Intel Windows NT Systems

I am unable to install the Apple LaserWriter software on a non-Intel based Windows NT system. I have tried Alpha/MIPS/PPC/Intel machines, and I can only get the software to work on an Intel-based NT machine.

Windows NT support in Apple's LaserWriter software is only for Intel-based Windows NT machines. Other NT platforms have not been tested and are not supported by Apple Computer, Inc.

However, Microsoft provides a document in their public Knowledge Base that describes how to install third party PPD files into Windows NT (including non-Intel machines). This document can currently be found on the Internet at the following address:
