There is a generic "Daisywheel" printer driver in COMP.BINARIES.MAC
that will let you print to any serial printer.  I think it's been
posted more than once, so use the newer one.

Of course, there's always the cable to be considered (yuk, yuk, yuk.)
I think it takes a degree in electrical engineering and 20 years in
the field to build a serial cable that works.

Good luck.
