A friend of mine came to me with the following inquiry. Please direct
all responses to him. His address is
chmx321@iv1.cc.utexas.edu
I'm under the impression that this has been discussed before, but
since I wasn't interested, I think I used a liberal dose of 'k's. :-)
Sorry for the rehash.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Does anyone know about connecting a HP DeskJet or DeskJet Plus printer
to a Macintosh SE/30 ? Most people I have talked to have little or no
idea. There seems to be two options : MacPrint (software) or Grappler
(hardware).
The MacPrint software I have seen works for the LaserJet printers (but
not specifically for the DeskJets). Is there a MacPrint version which
includes DeskJet printers ?
Grappler apparently more than doubles the printing speed from a Mac, but
at least it works and gives good quality printout.
Will HP come out with a Mac-compatible DeskJet Plus printer ?
Will Macintosh come out with a DeskJet printer driver ?
Is there a public domain version of a driver? If so, where does it
reside?
The DeskJet Plus seems to be an inexpensive alternative to buying a
LaserWriter or LaserJet printer. It has high quality output, is extremely
quiet, and costs less than half as much. The new Plus model is faster
and has more fonts than the original DeskJet printer.
Any and all information about connecting the Mac to a HP DeskJet printer
will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.
