I have a TextWriter that I love. It has a centronics port and accepts and prints raw ASCII. I used to have it booked up to a Windows pc via a usb converter and it printed just fine using the windows raw text driver.
Now I’ve moved over to Apple and it will not work, raw text drivers still send loads of format codes which it tries to print.
Any suggestions please?

With windows it would print whatever text there was in whatever you sent it, so it worked fine with eg. Word documents. Looking for similar functionality.

Currently thinking of setting up a small windows server to act as a print driver, and sending prints to that from the apples. Not sure if that would work…

@markno I'd rather think in the direction of Linux
