[comp.sys.mac] Hooking up Apple Imagewriter II to an IBM PC

madsen@vijit.UUCP (Dave Madsen) (09/29/87)

I'm posting this for a friend, who has
  a)  an Apple Imagewriter II color printer
  b)  an IBM PC Clone
  c)  an intense desire to hook up a) to b).

I know nothing about the printer, and he knows almost nothing about the PC (ie,
a "typical" user).  

I'd like to know if they're even electrically compatible, and if so, what kind
of interface or cable I'd need to get for him.  And then, I assume that there
would need to be some printer driver for it.  Then there's the matter of
printer escape codes.  Etc Etc.  

Can anyone tell me if there's a source for any of these items, and if so, what
the price may be?  (I could write a driver myself if required, but would rather
he bought one due to the fact that I have little spare time to research or code
it).

Please respond by MAIL, as I don't read the Apple newsgroups.  I'll post any
results if interest demands.
