There are currently no drivers for the GS that support the StyleWriter, and,
from what I have heard, Apple has no current plans to create such a driver.

>>I recommend the Deskjet until a well made driver appears (Apple or third party
) for the Stylewriter.

Frankly, that's your _only_ option until Apple upgrades the driver!

I'm interested in the StyleWriter's performance with the GS, specifically with
GraphicWriter III.  Is the output really that bad?  I use an ImageWriter II
right now, so speed is definitely _not_ a concern.  I'm concerned with 300 dpi.

Just my thoughts,
ET.
