My father-in-law has an eMac as well as an old Apple IIe (IIRC).
He has an Epson printer but he doesn't like it's print quality. He has an old Stylewriter printer and he really likes the output quality.
He wants to be able to send print jobs from his eMac to the Stylewriter.
So, the question is:
How would one do this?
What equipment is necessary? (Interface adapters? Special cables?)
What special OS fiddling-around is necessary to get them to talk to each other?
Would he be able to directly hook up the Stylewriter to his eMac?
Sorry, if this is newbieish. I'm a pc guy and don't have much experience with Macs so here I am to find some answers and advice from the experts.
He's currently running OSX 10.28 but also has OS9.xx for "classic" mode as I understand it.
His Espon is usb but the Stylewriter ... I have no idea. I'm assuming (from a pc perspective) it's a parallel port but I can't be sure of anything.
Thanks very much.
