I was going to write a printer driver for a printer that I have that is NOT
supported by Apple.  After finding out the work involved, I changed my
mind.  Drivers are HARD.  I found out that it took the guy 1 YEAR to write
the drivers for the Imagewriter II for the System 5.03 and 5.0.4.  I have a
book here next to me about drivers.  If you can, check out  DEVELOPE  Issue
4, October 1990.  It's out out by (beleive it or not)  Apple, Computer,
INC. The sentance of the second paragraph states:
        Unfortunally, the reality isn't quite as nifty as the theory.
