The other option which was broached, and which could form a new source ofI also suggested this in my column an issue or so ago. I even spoke with Tony Firshman about building such a device.
funding for QL projects and the QL community in general, would be to build a
generic box, which could be connected to a parallel port. The box would
perform the translation and output to a printer - I would suggest that it be
programmed under Windows, as this would enable new printer drivers to be downloaded
to the box quite easily. The box would take standard Epson (or HP) ASCII
output and convert it to the Windows driver in order to print to the printer.
The box would ideally need to support USB printers as well as parallel
printers.

I will have to talk to Roy again.
It sounds like too big a project for me alone. I have a busy life.
I daresay if someone could work on the soft/firm ware side, I could design hardware. That is how I have worked with Lau/Sturat/TT in the past
