In my business I still use a dot matrix printer for printing post cards as reminder notices. I have an ImageWriter II with an Appletalk card and an EtherPrint for bridging between AppleTalk and Ethernet. My OSX computer doesn't see it on the network. Is there no driver for it in X or is there some other problem? Anyone know? Dot matrix printers are still the best for printing forms that aren't 8.5X11. I'd hate to loose this functionality as I move to X. afriend of mine in the same business does this too.
I'm pretty sure there's no driver for the IWII, as Apple dropped support for it a long time ago--like back in the OS 8s or maybe even between 7.6.1 and 8.0.
However, the latest AT IWII print driver extension still works up through OS 9.1 at least. I don't know if there's some kind of work around for OSX, but I'm pretty sure there's no Apple-provided solution.
This is one of the things holding me back from OSX as well, because one of my printers is also an IWII with the AT option and a MicroAsante Print hooking it into the home ethernet network.
