Don't buy the Grappler LQ!!!

I have been using it for 6 mos.  It is slow, has memory problems,
works poorly with Hypercard (especially if you have no memory) and
doesn't work at all with MPW.

I finally broke down and bought an Apple compatible printer.
If you want to save time and frustration, get something that is designed
to work with your Mac.
