    I have only used the grappler once, and it was on a Mac IICX connected to a
HP Laser IIP.  What I got was very slow and very unreliable.  I managed to 
print a few MacDraw documents after a few minutes of waiting, but when I tried 
to print one of the sample files from Word 4.0, the newsletter, I waited 10 
minutes with absolutely no output whatsoever.  I finally gave up.  The grappler
is really slow, and the salesman I was talking to basically agreed with me that
it has worked really slow for them too.  A friend of mine has a deskwriter, 
which prints great, and is pretty fast.  If speed and reliability are important
to you, go with the Deskwriter for the extra $200.
