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.
