[comp.sys.mac] Public domain PRINTER DRIVERS

s_trautwein@iravcl.ira.uka.de (08/31/89)

Are there printer drivers in the public domain ?
I own a LISA running Mac Works Plus so it is Mac+ compatible.
The other part I own is a excelent printer: the Seikosha BP4250.
The printer is EPSON compatible but faster, more reliable and
can work with higher resolutions. The only problem is:
	I don't have a printer driver.
(except Laserwriter/Imagewriter which obviously don't work).
Who knows of public domain printer drivers for EPSON or
Seikosha printers ?
Thanks in advance

GDT Softworks and Phoenix Technologies both market printer drivers that
can handle printers compatible with the Epson FX and LQ series.  Price
is about $50-70.  Not exactly public domain, but not outrageous, either. 
I'm not aware of any public domain drivers for dot matrix printers.
