Looking for a laser printer to work with a Apple IIc, would a Personal
Laserwriter 300 or a 320 be possible?
I have used a HP laser printer with a serial port to just print text
(no gfx) the PL300 has a serial interface ... if you want to dump some
text files to paper and already have the printer you should try, have
no idea about graphics printing though
For years, Don Lancaster used an Apple IIe to print stuff to various
LaserWriters using Postscript. What he used was Apple Writer IIe and
a serial port. He published magazine articles and books, both included
schematic diagrams and other assorted diagrams. So graphics were
definitely possible.
I believe he wrote his Postscript code more or less by hand, or by using
the WPL (word processing language) builtin to Apple Writer to generate
it. Perhaps there are some articles by him available on his web-site,
www.tinaja.com, that would help you out.
