Yes, but that's a laser printer. I think there's some sort of massaging that
needs to be done for the Stylewriter. And BTW -- is that Linux running on a
Mac?

I'm running Slack on a PC... I tried running this down to the ground once
before, maybe a year ago, and the closest thing I could find was running a
print job from a Mac running MacOS to a Stylewriter on a Mac running Linux
PPC. In that case you needed a termcap entry for the Linux PPC's StyleWriter
and `pap` would work fine. 

I'm trying to figure out how to get my Linux PC to send a print job to a Mac
running System 7x with the StyleWriter attached to it. And yup, file and
device sharing is turned on at the System 7 machine. I suspect that this is
probably some sort of driver deficiency at the System 7 machine. Whether or
not it would print to a laser-printer at the System 7 machine I can't tell
as I don't have a laser-printer.
