Last week, we unboxed an eBay Regret™: an ImageWriter II that was packed in old envelopes and bed sheets. Of course it didn't survive shipping by Oops. But the LocalTalk/AppleTalk card inside seems to have survived.
Luckily I have another ImageWriter II that should work, though I only more recently picked up a box of tractor feed paper and a reproduction ribbon from @MacEffects88 to be able to test it.
Since I'd like to make part of my VCF East exhibit print-and-take-home interactive, I need a way to make my color printer ribbons last all weekend (or MacEffects to restock, one). That's why I would like to check out the MacPallette II printer driver, as it may extend the life of my ribbon stock. [It's either that or I have to se up a printer emulator and use a modern printer.]
Will my ImageWriter II work? Will I get LocalTalk working? Will I have time to try MacPallette II? You'll have to watch to find out!
