As a addendum to a request I posted late last week regarding
non-apple printers for an SE/30,
does anyone have any experience with Orange Micro's Grappler product?
Is this an alternative worth investigating?  An HP Deskwriter with
cable and tax will run about $850.  Grappler LX is advertised for $129 and I
can pick up an HP Deskjet Plus for $479 after rebate for a total cost of
about $650.  That's a savings for $200!  What, if anything, am I giving
up for that $200 savings?

Any experiences you would like to share would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave
