I am currently trying to help a neighbor of mine connect a serial printer (DEC LA50) to their Apple IIe. They are trying to connect the printer to the Apple IIe through a "Grappler" serial interface card which has been installed into expansion slot number one of the computer. At the moment, the printer is dumping out garbage when told to print. In order to help my neighbor out, I hoping somebody on the net could answer the following questions: * Will the "Grappler" serial card work with any serial printer, or does it HAVE to be an Imagewriter? (The salesperson said it would work, but the manual only mentions the Imagewriter.) * What baud/parity settings is this card using and how do I change them? (The manual which comes with the card doesn't mention this.) * If this card won't work with an ordinary serial printer, what card should they get? Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
