 LA> A few suggested changes:

Your machine isn't fast, so a maxwait of 3 is appropriate.  That's the
number of seconds before OS/2 looks for CPU-starved programs to increase
their priority, so that they get a timeslice (eventually).

/IRQ means to use IRQ-driven printing, rather than polled printing.  Better
performance, but useless if you 1) have allocated the IRQ elsewhere, or 2)
are using a printer cable which doesn't have the ACK lines running through
it (i.e. a cheap one).

 LA> Unless you have a Microchannel machine, REM this out

Not necessarily.  This driver supports more than just MCA floppy drives,
including tape drives.  You *probably* don't need it, but be wary.
