[comp.sys.mac] Printing on an Epson RX-85

pusateri@lear.cs.duke.edu (Thomas J. Pusateri) (09/12/89)

Does anyone know how I could print a document from within microsoft word
running on a mac on an epson dox matrix printer. I assume all I would need
is some type of device driver in my system folder so that Epson would
appear in the chooser. Has anyone written such a beast? Either commercial
or public domain?

Thanks for any info!

I used a driver from SoftStyle called EpStart which I used successfully
with an Epson FX-80.  As I recall, it could be configured for a number of
different Epson printers.  I now have an HP DeskWriter, so the Epson is
history.  I purchased EpStart from Mac Connection I think. It only costs
$28 - $30 or so.  There is also a version with a spooler in it called 
Printworks for the Mac.  Haven't tried that one and it runs about $65, I
think.  Good luck.
