The NX1000 is a parallel printer, which is Epson MX/FX-ish compatible. It will
work on your Apple II+/e/gs with a parallel printer interface. The one that I
use (and am very happy with) is the Orange Micro Grappler+. With the
"Harmonie" Epson drivers, you should be able to use this, even with GS/OS
programs.

...not the GrapplerGS, not the GrapplerCmacGS, but the Grappler+. I _had_ a
Star printer, and I was not happy with it. Besides the horrendous noise,
and mediorcre quality, the print head died after 6 months of light use  :(
