First off, is this printer backwards compatible with the Imagewriter
(C-Itoh 8510) and Imagewriter II ESC command set? Basically will all
older Apple II software that can talk to an Imagewriter II work without
modification with this printer?
WRT the C. Itoh 8510 Prowriter, it has similar but different firmware
than the Apple DMP or Imagewriters.
I remember quite different methods for handling downloaded characters,
with the Apple firmware being both more general and more flexible.
