        With a standard parallel cable, it can run as a standard text-only
printer.  You can also use the black/white DeskJet drivers (they just say
Deskjet).  I forget offhand if they are included in GSOS or extra (don't
have a GS here offhand to boot and check, drats!).

        The DeskJet most likely won't work with a Super Serial Card, since
it's a RS422/LocalTalk interface, !NOT! a RS232 interface.
