For your information:
I hooked up my ImageWriter I to my COM1 serial port and used the C-Itoh
8510 driver in Windows 3.1. The cable I am using is a straight-thru
cable connected to a Null Modem Adapter I got at Radio Shack (catalog
#26-1496a) for $4.95. It seems to work fine with both DOS and Windows.
I used the following command in DOS
C:\DOS\mode COM1:9600,n,8,1,p
and set up the port the same way in the Windows Ports setup.
the Null Modem connections are as follows:
1 to 1
2 to 3
3 to 2
4 to 5
5 to 4
6+8 to 20
20 to 6+8
7 to 7
I printed from several applications and all seems OK.

Last year, you wrote enquiring about a Windows driver for the Apple
ImageWriter. Here's what I learned; I hope that you find it useful.
The answer is that the ImageWriter is a C. Itoh 8510 in an Apple box.
Windows has a driver for the 8510, so you should just be able to hook it
up. Also, I was told the following:
Cal the Itoh BBS at 714-660-1656 and download the following:
PROEPSIM.COM - Makes your Imagewriter (Itoh) emulate an Epson
PROIBM.COM - lets you emulate an IBM Proprinter (which is
in GRAPHICS.COM).
I hope that this is useful and not too late. I just learnt about it a
week or two ago.
