I am interested in connecting a Nec P6/P7 parallel printer and a MAC II.
I  have seen ads for a cable that connects from a MAC to parallel printers
called the GRAPPLER.  I am wondering if anyone is using this product
and the quality of output that can be expected.

Another option is PrintWorks (from SoftStyle).  This has a Nec P6/P7 driver,
but in addition I would have to buy a serial to parallel converter (~$80).
Are people using the SoftStyle drivers?  What quality of output can be
expected?  What is the print speed? (especially when printing graphics?)

Thanks,
Cheryl Summers
