I am using an Epson EPL-6000 laser printer on a Mac IIsi.  I use the
MacPrint software to drive the printer.  I believe that MacPrint has
drivers available for most Epson dot-matrix-printers.  MacPrint has a
chooser-level driver--try to avoid any printer drivers that are not chooser
level drivers.  The MacPrint set-up is a bit slow, but it is much cheaper
than postscript machines.

The quality of the printing when using a HP compatible printer is not
up to what it should be (text looks a bit ragged and uneven), but it
sure beats the output from an ImageWriter II by about 200 miles.  I
plan to get Freedom Of The Press Light as a personal christmas present.
