All,

I have a Grappler+ card with all DIP switches set to off (no printer
emulation) installed in an Apple IIe Platinum.  I am having trouble using
the card to print.


 Not printing or printing odd characters can be symptoms of incorrect
switch setting. The dip switches should be set for the printer attached.
For the Deskjet try on off off on

Also a number of programs reqire different settings for different
printers. If you want to see if your hardware itself is working you
can send your keyboard output to the printer. Assuming your grappler
is in slot one. Then in basic type PR#1 and then hit return. After
that if you type something when you hit return it'll be sent directly
to the printer.
