I am hoping to get a Macintosh eventually, but I need a printer NOW.  How
usable would an Imagewriter be as a screen printer with a terminal and 1200
baud modem ?  I presume that the Imagewriter has a serial interface.  Does it
require a lot of codes to set up for "draft" mode ?  Does it do the standard
sorts of handshaking when the buffer gets full ?  Does it even have a buffer ?
Please mail me your experiences or comments.

Thanks in advance.
