A while back I asked for information on letter quality printers and
experiences hooking them up to the mac. Here are the responses I got, for
others that might be interested.

If you aren't looking for a typewriter in the deal, the route of "a Brother
typewriter with the RS232 interface" is a waste of money.  That little
interface plus cables costs over $200 (remember, that's in *addition* to the
original cost of the typewriter).

I've given up on trying to get a letter-quality printer for my Mac --
Now I'm looking for a print shop that offers laserwriter output from macwrite
files.

Microsoft WORD supports many letter quality printers.  You might look at it
instead of using MacWrite.  Also, the microsoft MacEnhancer provides a
parallel port for a printer that might be workth looking at.  I don't
know if it has printer emulation software in it, but...

The offices were very nice, and the clients were only raping the land, and
then, of course, there was the money...
