[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Parallel Printers on a Mac

dbert@pogo.ai.mit.edu (Douglas Siebert) (02/28/91)

I have an Epson FX-80 9-pin printer that is still in very good shape and I
would like to use it with my Plus.  I read a few notes ago that someone found
an old cable that would connect a parallel printer to a Mac, and have also
heard about a "Grappler 9-pin", maybe by Orange Micro (?) that does this as
well.  But I hear that Grappler thingy costs about $80-$90, which seems rather
high considering I could get a used Imagewriter for that price and have no
difficulty with interfacing at all.  What I would like is if someone could
direct me to someone who has either the parallel printer cable that Apple
used to make or the Grappler 9-pin that they are no longer using and are
looking get to get rid of for a little cash.  E-mail me with offers.
Thanks!
