   Yes, drivers are required for a GS/OS application (ProDOS 8 stuff
has far more spotty support; if you're trying to do that, post the
name of the apps), along with a parallel card or other converter to
parallel. Your choices for drivers are limited to 2 commercial
packages: Harmonie, with color printing support for deskjets that do
color, published by Joe Kohn's Shareware Solutions II (see
http://www.crl.com/~joko/harmonie.html ) or Seven Hills Software's
Independence (B&W only) at
