   If it's the _original_ Stylewriter (nothing since), GS/OS System 6
has drivers for GS/OS programs that print through the toolbox print
mechanisms. Sorry, no Prodos 8 (i.e. AW) support.

   All HP inkjet printers but their Windoze-only ones are much better
supported by the Apple II family (go with a Deskjet and a parallel card
for the Apple II if you want ProDOS 8 support rather than the Mac ones)
as they don't have 'driver of the month' syndrome that Apple went thru.
