(This is my first Post-it to the net.  If I'm breaking any unwritten rules
please excuse, and let me know.)


I just purchased Appleworks-GS.  After tearing open the package I copied
the disks to my ROM drive and booted it up, (leaving the cleanup for
later.)  After typing in a short note, (just to try out the fonts), I went
to print.  To my dismay, there was no print driver for a parallel
interface!!  None!  Not even one for Apple's own interface card!

Now don't get me wrong.  I know the "Standard Printer Interface" is the
serial port, but how about a "grandfather clause" for those of us who can't
afford to upgrade everything at once?

Isn't GSOS suppose to have this wonderful capability to add drivers "with
ease"?

Anyhow, I have a Apple //gs with a Buffered Grappler + talking to an Epson
compatable printer (Panasonic 1092).

ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE A DRIVER TO SUPPORT THIS CONFIGURATION?

(My Appleworks GS is useless without it!)
