I have a Grappler LQ, and I wanted to say that printing speed largely
depends on the kind of mac you're using. I upgraded from a Mac+ to an
SE/30 and print jobs that took 2 hours now only take 35 minutes.
That's because the mac has to do some scaling from 214 dpi to 180 dpi.
This scaling is very processor intensive.
I wrote an article about the Grappler LQ, and you can ftp it from
sumex-aim.stanford.edu as info-mac/report/grappler-lq.txt
