One way is to use a product from Orange Micro called the "Grappler 9 pin."
I have benchmarked one between a SE and the Proprinter II and it worked OK
but very slow.  It uses the standard imagewriter driver but only works in
"best" quality mode.  The grappler runs about $80 or so.  I have an extra
one I'd be willing to sell or trade.  Let me know.
