There has been a number of requests for information about print drivers
for various printers. The following is a list of all the information
I could find from recent Mac magazines.

GDT Softworks Inc.

-They have 2 sets of print drivers. One called PRINT-LINK works with   
 dot matrix printers. The other is called Mac Daisy Link and works with
 daisy wheel printers with or without single or multibin sheet feeders.
-See there ad on page 214 of MacUser Vol3 No 10 Oct 87 for more info
 or page 192 of MacWorld Sept. 87

-They have a product called Printworks for the Mac. It is a dot matrix
 control system. They also have Epstart for Epson printers, Colormate for 
 color printing and Laserstart for use with an HP Laserjet.
-They also have a piece of hardware called the MacEnhancer which will
 let you hook a printer or plotter to the mac. It has serial and parallel
 ports
-see Page 206 of MacUser Vol 3 No 10 Oct 87
-it is also available form a number of mail order places
 
There are probably others but these are the only ones I could find with
a quick look at the mags.

I know nothing about either of these companies. I have never dealt with
them in any way. The information provided is from ads found in the 
various Mac magazines.

I hope this helps
