- Apple ImageWriter and ImageWriter II printers use Apple's QuickDraw
- imaging technology. Since QuickDraw is an Apple product, no one may write a
- QuickDraw driver without the explicit permision of Apple. I have not heard of
- anyone getting such permission, though there may be a driver out there. You
- will also need a DIN-8 serial interface port with an adapter or Apple native
- pinouts.
