[comp.sys.mac] Grappler Interface Help Needed.

aehl@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Donald J Aehl) (05/21/88)

I am posting this for a friend of mine who has a MacIntosh Plus.
I do not know anything about MacIntosh computers so please bear with me...

What he needs to know is:

Can a MacIntosh Plus be hooked up to a Hewlett Packard LaserJet Printer?

If so, can it be done using a Grappler (Grappler Plus?) Interface?

I would like to get some response from anyone who has had experience with
the Grappler Interface and can provide some technical advice.

Thanx in advance for any advice.

I am using a beta version of the Grappler LQ on my HP DeskJet and even though
I am using Laserwriter SC fonts (the release ones will be from BitStream,
the unit works quite well although it is slow because the Mac has to do
all of the formatting.  I expect that the unit will work with a laser printer
as well.  Have your friend contact Orange Micro for further details.  They
are supposed to release in the next two weeks.
