Forgive me if this topic has been discussed here before  -- I'm a
newcomer to comp.sys.mac, and am still considering purchasing a Mac.

I currently own two printers: a Brother M-1509 Epson-compatible matrix
printer with both serial and parallel interfaces, and an Okidata
Laserline 6 HP LJ-II-compatible laser printer with 512K memory.  If I
purchase a Mac SE, will I be able to utilize either/both of these
printers?  I plan to use Word, Excel, and some database program.

I am under the impression that some form of printer driver software
will be required (similar, I believe to a DOS TSR program).  Is this
correct?  What is the name of the program(s)? Where can I find the
program(s)?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
