I am interested as for not hearing about Apple Image Writer II Printers before. I know there may be a din connector but are there other interfaces as well?

Sheesh, how many new kids are going to show up all at once? Shouldn't this be in the Tech stuff?

Yes maybe this could be moved to the Tech Depot.

After reading, I see it is a serial printer.

I am not sure if you have a serial lead already, but an 8 pin Mini Din to a DB9 connector can be brought for it:

The next issue can be is finding a driver for it, as I can only find ones for Laser Writers.

The question I am thinking of: "Is there a universal or standard printer driver that could work with it?"

I know sometimes that custom written drivers are not simple to find, unless you can develop custom drivers.

thank you infinate times, otal the lord of death! and nevermind the question @ the start of the topic, i figured it out after searching my printer drivers in my waaaayy too old but still "1337" "b0x0r" that i can install a text-only printer with the win95 disc.

the kabal o' old tech really is a kabal that i decided to form after realizing that i had no space. it can be joined by sending me a secret phrase @ ringorox@mad.scientist.com
fear me!!!!!!!! i am the gecko... vampire... dude. so... just fear my wrath, okay? just fear it goddamnit! fear!!!!!!! caffine is gooooooooooood.

Oh what driver did it work with?

Sorry I do not even know what a kabal is in the term you use.

I once had an Epson FX 1000, it was so noisy and made screeching sounds, the only problem was that it had a hardware fault with the paper feed.

Sorry, I did not know before to which person you said that to.

I sense an opposition from your wording.

Hello, all you fooli- wait, if you are on this topic, than you must not be foolish, hang on...

Hello, all you slightly odd humans! Deepsycher, the imagewriter II worked with the "text only" driver, and all you need is the win 9x disc! As peter griffin would say "freakin' sweet!" as for the word "kabal" it means organization or conspiracy. so... all i can say is that the secret phrase starts with 'r' so take a guess! Also, i'll be changing my e-mail soon. I'll post it soon. PARTY ON!!!!!! YOU INSANE HUMANS!!!! DAOU-DOO-DOO-DOO-DA-DA-DUN-DUGGA-DUM! YEAH!!!!!

(Guitar solo. In case you have not guessed, i'm insane! Absolutely bonkers!!! Bwahahahahaha!!!!)
fear me!!!!!!!! i am the gecko... vampire... dude. so... just fear my wrath, okay? just fear it goddamnit! fear!!!!!!! caffine is gooooooooooood.

Oh I see, I never noticed that before. Generic/Text only driver.

Sorry I am not good at guessing secret phrases, other than my own.

Insane? I cannot tell, there are many kinds, I think of the term "nosane" or "allsane."
