Nobody seems to have any answers to this around here, if you can help, please do. I have a Mac II and have a Grappler LQ interface which is supposed to allows (allow) you to hook up 24 pin and laser printers to your Mac and save you the Big Bucks of getting an Imagewriter. I hooked the thing up and later just had the intention of just using it in it's own print mode, not in the graphics mode that is normally sent to it. Microsoft Word has drivers for a "Serial Printer" and "Typewriter" which do exactly what I want it to do, and it works fine. Problem is that I cannot use those drivers for any other programs. I have MacWrite (new version) which I bought, but that doesn't seem to have any drivers for it for my needs. Are there any drivers "out there" that I could use for running this printer with all programs? I would sure like to get a hold of one. If you know of one, have one, or know where it can be found -- hell, if you even know if such a thing exists, I would sure appreciate an email note or a post! Thanks in advance... -Douglas Mason -- Douglas T. Mason | douglas@ddsw1.UUCP or dtmason@m-net |
