Step 1, you need a parallel card and cable.  Get them
from http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech Electronics.

For AppleWorks, skip to Step A.  For all GS/OS
programs, go to Step 2.

Step 2, you need HP drives in a package called
Harmonie from http://www.crl.com/~joko Shareware
Solutions II.

Optional Step 3, for the best print, you'll want to use
TrueType fonts.  If you do, get Harmonie from
http://www.crl.com/~joko Shareware Solutions II.

Step A, for AppleWorks, get the latest version with
the DeskJet drivers from a2mg@aol.com the email
address of Texas II/Apple II Mail Group.  Send them
email asking about AppleWorks and DeskJets.
AppleWorks should be updated before Y2K.
