Hello...

I want to connect an old Epson Printer, an LQ-1000 to a new Mac Classic.

Let me first give you a few specs on the printer:
	-24 Pin
	-Wide Carriage
	-Parrallel and Serial Connection
	-And other things....

Now, I was first told that I would have to buy a Grappler for a 24-pin 
printer and that would do me the trick.

But recently, someone suggested that since I already had a serial interface,
all I would have to do is find the right cable, and the right software drivers
for the printer and I would be in business.

If this is the case, does any body know where I can get such software drivers?
I would prefer if they were Public Domain, as I don't want to dish out too 
much cash.
