There are several questions correlated to usage of the HP Deskjet
Printer (300 dpi ink-jet) with the Grappler LQ interface on a mac
SE (System 6.03 Finder 5.0):

1st Question:
With the Grappler comes the driver Imagewriter LQ version 1.0.
With the mac comes version 2.0. What is the difference?

2nd Question:
Imagewriter LQ version 1.0 works fine with the Grappler if booted
and if selected by the chooser DA. Version 2.0 only works if selected
by the chooser. In this case print dialogs show version 2.0, but 
only garbage comes out of the printer. What's the reason?

3rd Question:
Are there printer drivers for the Deskjet other than Grappler?


I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and answers to one (or all)
of the above questions, especially on the topic of differences between
the two versions.

Thanks in advance,
