I am using an Epson EPL-6000 laser printer on a Mac IIsi. I use the MacPrint software to drive the printer. I believe that MacPrint has drivers available for most Epson dot-matrix-printers. MacPrint has a chooser-level driver--try to avoid any printer drivers that are not chooser level drivers. The MacPrint set-up is a bit slow, but it is much cheaper than postscript machines. The quality of the printing when using a HP compatible printer is not up to what it should be (text looks a bit ragged and uneven), but it sure beats the output from an ImageWriter II by about 200 miles. I plan to get Freedom Of The Press Light as a personal christmas present. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.

I'm using an Epson Spectrum LX-80. I've got an Grapler interface for it, The interface emulate the imagewriter, so the only driver that you need is the Image Write one thaty comes with the System Software. I've had no ptoblems what so ever with it and would recomend it.

There seems to be a large demand for info about connecting an Epson
to a Mac. I wrote an article about the Grappler LQ about a year ago,
and it's available from sumex-aim.stanford.edu via ftp:
info-mac/report/grappler-lq.txt
Hope this helps
