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. Art Sedgwick SEDGWICK@DALAC.BITNET sedgwick@dalcs.uucp
