   From the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 4.7:

--- Begin Quoting

Of the Apple Stylewriter family, ONLY the original Stylewriter will
work on the GS, and then only from GS/OS with the System 6 drivers. As
Apple has not written drivers or released the specifications so that
drivers could be written by third parties, none of the rest of the
Stylewriter models works when connected to a GS.

--- End quoting.

   Hewlett Packard inkjet printers are *much* more friendly towards
Apple IIs. If Apple is trying to shaft you, take your money elsewhere.
