[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Connecting a parallel dot-matrix printer to a Mac?

john@basho.uucp (John Lacey) (06/25/91)

I would like to use the Panasonic KX-P1080i I have with my Macintosh
Plus.  Some gentleman at the Univ. of Wisconsin has written a printer
driver (aka Chooser Device) for this printer.

But, I still have a problem with the cable, as in, what do I use?  My
first stabs have found a generic serial-parallel converter for $80,
and the Orange Micro Grappler for $80 or $130 depending on the model.

Are those the simplest solutions?  Are they the cheapest?  What model
of Grappler would I need anyway?

Sorry to ask these questions here, but the dealers in my area are, to
put it generously, useless.
