    About printer drivers: The people to talk to when it comes to printer
drivers is SoftStyle. They make two drivers for the mac to use the HP laserjet
and thinkjet printers on the macintosh, and by now they might have more. 
    In addition Microsoft Word 3.0 comes with a serial printer driver for the
mac, which is fine if you only want to print straigt text. Also the draft
mode of the image writer print box prints in text mode instead of the standard
graphics mode. Other then that you either have to write your own driver or
find a printer which supports the IW command set.
