Re: Personal Laserwriter - Help!

[obsbedia2@aol.com (Obsbedia2)]

	Ok, what is a "quickdraw printer driver?"  I have a Personal Laser Writer LS,
less the toner cartridge that I picked up at  the GoodWill about a year ago
(before they started their policy of throwing in the dumpster anything that
wasn't able to run Windows 95 or better).  

	I actually picked it over a couple of other models because it was so much
smaller (and lighter).  As I started tracking down the toner cartridge, I came
across mentions about it in articles.  It was described as a cheap, bottom-end
of the market laser printer that didn't have any built in fonts.

	It's (or it was) my understanding that the Apple II computers need to have 
printers with built in fonts to use them.  I couldn't, say, hook it up to my
Apple IIe or gs and get it to print out AppleWorks or PublishIt!4 documents.

	Am I (fingers crossed hopingly) wrong?

I used to have an LS...  didn't last too long, at least page wise.  The thing
used one and a half toner carts over its life span.

Anyway, it was a quickdraw only serial printer.  There was no postscript, and
presumably no fonts.  I don't see why it would not work on ann apple II
assuming you have a serial interface and a quickdraw printer driver.
