My brother is thinking of getting a Classic (actually, it's
pretty definite).  He has been using an old Apple ][+ with
an Epson LX80 printer.

The $64.00 question is:  can the printer be connected, and used
with the Classic?  I've heard about some product called the
Grappler, but I don't know anything about it.  He went to the
local computer store, and they told him that the only product
they had, a software-based solution, would only work with Epson's
"LQ" series of printers.

Can it be done?  Or will he have to get a IW II?

Thanks.
