Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the only StyleWriter model that
works with the IIGS is the original, now known as the StyleWriter I.
Note that the StyleWriter I works only with GS/OS software, not ProDOS-8,
and so that model can only be used on a IIGS.
The absolute best low cost printers that are IIGS compatible are HP
DeskJets that support PCL. They are all essentially plug 'n print, if you
have the drivers. There are even DeskJet Clones (like Mattel's Barbie
printer or Apollo's P-1250) that can be found for $50 or so, brand new.
Info on the Harmonie package of GS/OS print drivers can be found at
