A while back I asked for information on letter quality printers and
experiences hooking them up to the mac. Here are the responses I got, for
others that might be interested.

If you aren't looking for a typewriter in the deal, the route of "a Brother
typewriter with the RS232 interface" is a waste of money.  That little
interface plus cables costs over $200 (remember, that's in *addition* to the
original cost of the typewriter).

I've given up on trying to get a letter-quality printer for my Mac --
Now I'm looking for a print shop that offers laserwriter output from macwrite
files.

Microsoft WORD supports many letter quality printers.  You might look at it
instead of using MacWrite.  Also, the microsoft MacEnhancer provides a
parallel port for a printer that might be workth looking at.  I don't
know if it has printer emulation software in it, but...

then, of course, there was the money...
