Does anyone know if it is possible to connect an IBM PC (actually an AT&T
6300) to an IBM 5218 printer?  This printer was originally the printer for an
IBM Display Writer.  I'm asking for a friend who is a teacher at a small high
school.  As at all schools, they have a limited budget for implementing this.
Naturally they would like to avoid buying a whole new printer.

Would anyone who has any ideas on whether or how this can be done, please
contact me via e-mail.  Thanks.
