I've had very good results using a Grappler LQ to drive
a deskjet (on a MacPlus). Some notes:
you must have the deskjet powered up, the Grappler
interface powered up, and the deskjet online EVERY
time the Mac is rebooted.
They use the same technique as the Quickdraw laser
printers to get nice fonts, so getting the best
output depends on having the right font sizes
installed.
(At least with the unit I got) you can't leave the
Grappler interface powered up all the time; the
wall transformer powering it gets EXTREMELY hot.
