Last week I posted the following request about Imagewriters and the NeXTStation: Can an Imagewriter I be hooked up successfully to a NeXTStation? Are there any warnings, caveats, or potential problems I should be aware of when combining these two machines? I got the following responses. Thanks to all!

Also there exists on some ftp site somewhere a program called iwscript which makes these things run. ??pat picard!pat@uop.edu <-- I get NeXTmail! Pat Luther: Lex's Evil Twin From: Neil Gorsuch <uninet!neil%zardoz.uucp@ics.uci.edu> Shouldn't be a problem, but if it has a centronics parallel port, and you want more speed than out of a serial port, we sell a scsi based port expander. A number of our customers are about to hook up printers to the NeXT using our gadget... -- Neil Gorsuch INTERNET: neil@cpd.com UUCP: uunet!zardoz!neil MAIL: 1209 E.

EPS (Eric Scott) has also made an IW driver, but I don't know where you can get it from. -- ( Bernie Wieser, wieser@cpsc.ucalgary.ca, BSWieser@uncamult.BITNET ) ( 4rth Year Dbl.Mgr Cpsc Clhc University of Calgary | ) ( S/H Developer Dept. of Psychology, " " " \|/ ) ( Octavian Micro Development Group --- o --- )

iwf has only been tested with the ImageWriter II--the original poster asked about an ImageWriter I. I just don't know. -=EPS=-
