In the control panel it's called DC Printer, but just to confuse things 
the file itself is called DirectConnect. It can be found on the 
SystemTools1 disk at /SystemTools1/System/CDevs/DirectConnect. Just copy 
it into the System/CDevs folder on your startup disk and it'll work.

The System 6 installer application presumably adds it if you install any 
of the direct connect (i.e. non-AppleTalk) printer drivers, but there's 
no option to install it by itself.

Pointless and Harmonie are a great combination! I used to use them on my 
IIGS to print to a DeskJet. It was an original DeskJet, with both serial 
and parallel ports, so I didn't need a parallel card. Hopefully you have 
a driver which will work with the Slotbuster II card, as Harmonie comes 
with several drivers for parallel cards.
