I am about to propose to my boss that we hook up my Mac (a IIcx) directly to a series 500 laser that is currently being under-utilized. I think I can accomplish this with a Grappler which I am told comes with a driver and cable. Has anyone done this? Does it work? Are there any better or cheaper soloutions? Thanx Alex Jauch UCI, AdCom ajauch@bonnie.ics.uci.edu

These are chooser level drivers for HP laser printers that are Laser Jet compatible. I have seen and used MacPrint, it seems to work just fine providing you have at least 1-Mbyte of memory (512K will not be enough for full page graphics). Do not expect postscript programs to work well unless you buy a postscript adapter. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.
