I just got this to interface my 'old' Okidata 92 with my new Mac SE.  I'm
beginning to get the impression that my printer is too old.  The graphics look
ok except they appear in the 132 column format and I have yet to get text to
print out.  I guess its back to the dealer with a few questions.  I'll continue
this discussion if there are any favorable developments.

Subash,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.  The product I'm using
is called the Grappler C/Mac/GS Universal Parallel Interface.  I
wouldn't recommend you go out and get one just yet.  The setting for
the OKI 92 is not listed.  I've tried the setting for the OKI 192.
It doesn't work.  I'm presently working with the dealer to find an
appropriate setting.  Parameter settings are made on the dippy 
switches on the interface box.  I'm becoming suspicious of any 
interface device with the term'universal' in its name.  I update you
on how everything turns out.
