If you ask, Tom would probably be glad to give you some hints on how to proceed. There is a simple machine language program in the revised Apple II manual to enable a printer.
Empire has ordered a number of “Black Box” printers from Expandor, with delivery set for March. The Black Box is an 80 column, 10 CPS, serial mode impact printer which uses 8-1/2″ plain paper rolls. It sells for $425.00.
