Interesting.

Since the DeskJet series is a Parallel port Win/PC printer, I assume the GS
require a card like the Grappler to work with Harmonie?

You gotta be "out there" like the rest of us, you're an Apple II fan.  :>)

While the rest of the planet continues it's unending spiral down in flames
toward that huge toilet called Microsoft, (NT ? ------ (N)o (T)hanks) there
is a nice safe haven of computers and software in this newsgroup that
actually work.
