Hi, Thye Chean again.

Is anybody there using Grappler C/Mac/GS to print document on the
Apple IIGS?

I bought this device when I am still using my old lovely Apple //c. It
is a very solid device and emulates ImageWriter beautifully. And I
expect it to work on Apple IIGS... oh boy I am wrong.

All the 8-bit softwares (AppleWorks 3.0, Publish It! 3.0, Multiscribe)
works fine, and WordPerfect GS 2.0 works fine. But that's almost the
end of the software I can use.

I try AppleWorks GS v1.1, GraphicWriter III on my Panasonic printer,
does not seems to work well. Friend told me that I should not use
the fantastic System 5.04 driver, so I try it on System 4 driver, the
AppleWorks GS word processor works fine, but not the desktop publisher.
I also happened to have Harmonie driver (thinking of getting a DeskJet
in the future), the ImageWriter driver print only 2/3 of the 1st page
of my 3-pages newsletter and hang.

So my questions are simple:

1. Is there any ImageWriter driver that works on Grappler C/Mac/GS?

2. If not, can anybody tell me which driver works with which packages?
   Or, what program can work?


Help. The device has force me to consider getting a REAL ImageWriter II
and that is very expensive in Singapore.
