Re: replacement inkjet printer for Apple 2

Epson still offers the C88+ - which the specifications list as having
parallel and USB.

The question begs, is it centronics or the other higher density
connector. But it does support ESCP/2 protocol, which is downward
compatible with ESC and that means the Harmony, Independence and Epson-
APL drivers will work with it. I've used various Epson models over the
years on A2's without any issues. You may not get color from any
standard print drivers, but you can get color from Printshop, and from
AppleWorks using ESC codes to turn it on the same way as the
ImageWriter II/LQ.

...which is also another option for you, find an ImageWriter II, blast
out the head with denatured alcohol and then put a bit if silicone
spray in where the wires are passing through the front. WD-40 is
*bad*. Those C-iToh ribbons are still pretty common.

Okidata, Epson and C-iToh are basically it ribbon wise.
