Hello all,

I just acquired a very nice looking Silentype printer for my Apple III.
  And, I'd like to know if this Silentype is working.  I know very
little about both (I've had an Apple III for about a month, but no time
to play with it).

Are you familiar with how to use the System Configuration Program to install drivers on your boot disk? You'll need to do that and add a Silentype driver. I see at least one WAP disk that has both:

(scroll down to "DISK ID: APPLE-3-WAP-SYS-02")

You'll want to add the US version of SITYPE.DRIVER. Take note of the device name - I think it will be .SILENTYPE, which will have an effect on what you are opening and writing to...
