Orange Micro Devices, the makers of the original Grappler intelligent
interface for the Apple ][ has come out with a grappler for the mac. It
allows you to hook up any parallel printer or plotter to your Mac serial
port. If it is one of the popular dot matrix printers, it will allow that
printer to emulate an Imagewriter. 

Another source is Cricket, makers of Cricket Draw. They have come out with
a package called Cricket Drivers. Each one comes with a custom cable and
device driver to hook up non-Mac printer and plotters to your mac.

I believe that both products list for $99.
