I realize my reply might have been ambiguous...to recast: Once you have your LaserWriter driver (software) installed, you have to connect the printer via the appropriate printer cable, with AppleTalk turned on. Then you should be able to see the LaserWriter in the Chooser. It also helps to have a PPD for the specific printer in your "Printer Descriptions" folder in your "Extensions". You might be able to find one frome the manufacturer. If not, you may have to use the "Gen. Eric" one.
