Does anyone know if it is possible to hook a Letter Quality
printer up to a Mac +. Not all of us are rich enough for a Laser
Writer, but it would be nice to be able to generate some better quality
printouts than are available from the Imagewriter II.
I realize that the Mac sends out printing information in terms
of character bitmaps (or something to that effect). Is there any
software that will convert a document from Mac graphic format so that a
regular LQ printer could print a Mac document (albeit without the fancy
character sets and proportional spacing, etc.).
Thanks in advance.
