	I had the pleasure to see at the recent MacHack '88 a DeskJet working with
Orange Micro's GrapplerLQ.  The grappler is a hardware interface that works
along with some INITs and the standard Apple ImageWriter LQ driver to driver
the DeskJet.  The programmer did a real good job on the software and it includes
a built in spooler (which works with both MF and UniFinder) and lots of other
options which are accessible from teh Control Panel (cdev).

(Disclaimer: I now know the programmer, personally!)
