I want to connect a letter-quality dot matrix printer to a Mac and to
an IBM-PC through an A-B box in such a way that I can, say, do screen
dumps from either machine.  What sort of hardware/software would I need if
I were to choose an IBM ProPrinter?  How would it be different with 
an ImageWriter II as the single printer?  I've heard rumors of a hardware
box called the Grappler (?) to let the Mac print to an IBM printer, but
I know nothing about it.
