Somewhere in comp.binaries.mac is a thing called Daisy -- There may
even be several versions of it here.  I have used it with fine results
on several different serial printers -- even the Imagewriter responds
if you don't mind it working like a dumb printer.

Daisy (named for Daisywheel printers) is a straight ASCII serial
printer driver.  All it lets you do is print lines of text.  You can
set some initialization parameters -- so you can have a certain font
for the whole document and set margins and such.  I think you can also
tell Daisy what your printers wants in the way of line termination, 
top of page, and so on.

It works quite nicely.  My thanks to the author, Earle Horton.
