I am looking for information about connecting 24-pin printers such as the
Epson LQ850 or LQ950 to the Mac+.
1) Grappler LQ ~$92 Orange Micro serial/parallel cable
-uses ImageWriter LQ driver so should work with any applications.
2) Print-Link ~$62 GDT Softworks serial cable extra
-90x90 or 180x180 dpi graphics
-360x360 dpi on NEC but not on LQ950
-may not work with Hypercard
-can use some built-in printer fonts at draft speed
3) PrintWorks ~$43 SoftStyle
-dot matrix disk has drivers for a variety of printers.
I am looking for more information about PrintWorks. Does it support LQ850/950?
Does it allow draft speed printing with printer fonts?
Any information about common software which will not work with these drivers
would also be appreciated.
