Hey folks...
Just a few questions....
I have an ImageWriter II printer attached to my Apple IIGS, but I only seem to have a plain old "ImageWriter" Chooser driver installed. I can't seem to find an "ImageWriter II" driver anywhere on my System 6.0.1 disks or any other disk I have.
I am asking because I am not getting the print quality from the Apple IIGS that I got when I had the printer hooked up to my Mac Plus. Even when I set the print quality in the "Print..." dialog box to the "Best" I notice the print quality is still lacking. Not to mention that the software seems to override my settings on the printer itself (where you can set the print quality) and resets to the middle-grade quality, even when the dialog box in the software is set to "Best". Now it kind of makes sense that the software will override the hardware's settings, but shouldn't it override it to be the highest-quality when I have things set to "Best" on the software end?
I have no knowledge of the original ImageWriter printer, or how it differed from the ImageWriter II. I have never even seen one. In that same vein, I have no idea if there is even such a thing as an "ImageWriter II" Chooser driver for the GS but my experience here makes me think that there may be.
Is there such a driver for ImageWriter II's? Where can I get it?
Also, is it possible to hook up a Apple StyleWriter 2400 to an Apple IIGS? Are there drivers available? How about a Hewlett Packard DeskWriter 400 or 660C?
For information on using the Hewlett Packard Deskjets with the Apple II go to http://lamp.a2central.com/ and refer to the October 1999 issue of _The Lamp!_ . (Choose one of the files named TLMP9910)
Also go to http://users.FoxValley.net/~joko/ for information on and to purchase the Harmonie Printer Drivers set. This collection of printer drivers for the Apple IIgs includes an improved driver for the Imagewriter II.
