I'm writing this question for a friend with an Apple IIe who is not on the
network:
He has an Apple IIe with 128K Ram, a Grappler Plus interface (w/ 16K
buffer) and an Okidata 92 printer. He is having trouble using his system
with Appleworks. Specifically, he cannot configure Appleworks properly
for his printer/interface combination. He wants to set the Okidata to
Correspondence Quality mode, but Appleworks prints 80N on both the screen
and paper whenever he tries to print. It sounds (to me) like Appleworks is
sending an initialize command to the Grappler card thinking that it is an
Apple parallel printer interface card.
Does anyone have experience with using Appleworks with a Grappler card?
(He is using Appleworks version 1.0). Any assistance would be appreciated.
Please send responses to me by Unix-mail or post to the net.
Thanks.

I ran across the same problem with a C. Itoh Prowriter 8510 and otherwise identical setup. I solved the problem by searching the Appleworks program disk for the pattern "80N" and replacing it with "000". I'm told that you can take your dealer and he will fix it. Karl -- Karl M.
