Summary: Program suggestion...

What I would really appreciate is a simple program (desk accessory?)
that makes the Macintosh + imagewrite act just like a printer.  

This may sound stupid.... why a typewriter when one could have Word,
but when it comes to filling out forms or typing addresses nothing
beats a simple typewriter.  

I would suggest either a one line buffer or direct typeout.  If a 
one line buffer is used, though, it is VERY important that the print head
moves one space to match the position of the cursor, so that the positioning
of the words can be done.  A Choice of font sizes would be nice, but I am
not picky.

Come on, Macmasters, how about it?
