I wish to hook a Mac+ to a cheap dot matrix printer! I have an old Radio Shack
DMP 105 printer but I don't have the software driver to interface it with a Mac.


I would like to know if anyone has been able to interface the Radio Shack dot
matrix printer, DMP 105, to a Mac or Mac+. In fact has anyone been able to
interface any other simple cheap dot matrix printers with a Mac. It is not
crucial for me to be able to do graphics vs. just draft text.
 
If this is possible I would deeply appreciate it if I could obtain the pin out
schematic required to construct a printer cable for Mac <> DMP 105.
 
I would also like to know what printer driver software will allow the Mac to
properly communicate with the Radio Shack DMP 105 printer or if anyone knows of
other printer drivers for other dot matrix printers, please tell me.
 
Any help with this problem would be deeply appreciated.
