I believe the Portable StyleWriter may work, since it is basically a
repackaged
Canon BJ-10.  It is a parallel-port printer that comes packaged with a
Mac serial-->parallel cable.  Not sure if the cable works with the GS or
not; it
draws its power from the serial port.  But attaching directly to the
parallel
port and printing in BJ-10 mode should work just as it would from a PC,
using internal fonts.
