The problem you mentioned about the StyleWriter is not a problem with the
printer itself but the driver. The driver is supposed to be fixed with
System 6.0.1. In any case you can hook up almost any printer to the GS as
long as you have a driver for it. A couple of printer driver packages
available are Harmonie by Vitesse and Independance by Seven Hills. They
support a wide range of 24 pin and ink jet printers.
