AppleWriter II (ProDOS): Printing from an Apple IIGS
The Applewriter program works fine on the Apple IIGS until the program locks
up when you try to have it print through the Apple IIGS's serial ports. If a
Super Serial Card with an ImageWriter or an ImageWriter II with an AppleTalk
option is used, AppleWriter prints fine. The problem occurs with prints to
the internal Apple IIGS serial ports. AppleWriter may address and only
address the Super Serial Card's communications chip and not the Apple IIGS's
communications chip.

Note: Don Lancaster has come up with a Patch for Applewriter to allow
it to print with the //gs internal port.  See his articles in Computer
Shopper March, 1987 page 108 or the May 87 Open-Apple.  I can post these
very short patches to the net if there is interest.
