ImageWriter: Printing from MS-DOS (9/94)


Does Apple have any driver that supports printing to a ImageWriter, ImageWriter II, or an ImageWriter LQ from a MS-DOS compatible?

There is no driver that supports printing to any of the ImageWriter family of printers from MS-DOS or Windows that is made by Apple Computer, Inc. Microsoft Windows has a driver named "C-Itoh 8510" that may work with the ImageWriter II (with no LocalTalk option card) if the proper cable is used.

With the appropriate driver, it is possible for an MS-DOS computer with the
AppleTalk PC Card to print to an ImageWriter II or AppleTalk ImageWriter LQ
over LocalTalk. However, Apple Technical Communications is not, at this writing, aware of such a driver.
