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).
