This one is a bit ambitious, but worth it. All Apple II software has defacto support for Imagewriters unlike the Epson LQ, and the IW LQ has high res COLOR drivers built into GS/OS. The most annoying thing about this is having to use the serial port since the GS/OS driver is "intelligent" and sends ESC codes to determine which printer is on the port. No response = Imagewriter B&W printing only! Also printing speed will be limited by emulated port speed unless the SCC code is hacked to pump output directly like the parallel card emulation.
