It isn't possible since Stylewriters have no built in character set. As they
were intended for use with a graphical system, they would get confused if you
connected 'em to boxes that expect to send characters to the printer. They 
only understand being told where to place dots on the page.

Should you hear that this is because Apple doesn't like you and won't allow
your //e to be supported, you should be aware that other brands you may
be told about also make printers without built in character sets, e.g. HP's
Deskwriter line, and these won't work any better.
