My parents have an old Apple //c, and origianlly had an Imagewriter I
to go with it.  Well my sister bought a Mac+ and went off to college,
and since she'd be using the printer more, my parents gave her the
printer.

The computer doesn't get used much; they don't need 72dpi, but they
would like a printer that goes with it.  

Is my only move to get a Grappler or other parallel-serial interface,
and get a parallel printer, or are there any serial printers out
there?  The original manual explains that the Epson RX and FX series
are compatible---but tyhe delaers I talk to are clueless about
anything so "ancient." 

Please reply by email---I don't read this group regularly.

And send flames to /dev/null: this semeed the most appropriare place.
Thanks.
