I'm looking for a way to connect an Epson EX-1000 printer to the Mac.  In this
particular situation we need a fast printer but the print quality is not
a big issue.  The Epson native "draft mode", including the various forms
of bold, extended, compressed, etc are quite satisfactory.

I've bought a "Grappler" interface but it doesn't seem to do quite what
I want - it seems to insist on printing everything in graphics mode which
certainly is not fast!

It may be that I haven't hit on the right combination of switch setting and
chooser/print options, or perhaps some other solution is closer to what I
need.  Any and all ideas are welcome.

Please reply by e-mail (to wlbrown@lbl.gov) as I don't often read this
news group.

						thanks -
