If you've ever look at the sheer size of the StyleWriter II driver
on the Mac you'd know that this would be a major undertaking. With
its current emphasis on downsizing (trendy corporate phenom that it
is) it's unlikely Apple would sink that kind of money into a driver
for the GS.

As it's been said before, these guys are not our personal liason
to Apple. Their value is in their knowledge and support of the Apple II
as individuals.

Back to the printer, a third-party driver (especially one that could
be used on a localtalk network) would be ideal for schools. Maybe even
one that used a GNO-server for print spooling.
