You know the Apple Scribe thermal printer for the IIc? Did that ever work with the Mac, or was it Apple 2 only? #RetroComputing

And does the thermal head on these sorts of printers work with fax-style thermal paper? Or does it absolutely *need* those silly cartridges?

(I used to have one of these printers waaaay back in the depths of time, but it disappeared long, long, long ago)

@billgoats IIRC, when I wrote some Python to drive mine, it worked with the ImageWriter commands. And it will print with thermal fax roll paper.

@billgoats Apparently I connected it to a Pi with CUPS and did the wireless printing thing with it. This was posted to the BadSite in Nov 2020.

So I think that means if the CUPS IWII driver works with it, maybe the Mac one will?

@paulrickards 😻 Even CUPS is plenty good enough! The big thing is that it's not got some weird IIc-only interface going on.
