Yes, but you won't get an apple talkable printer which will transfer data at
a rate much higher than the serial DESKJET.  In my suite here at school we have
both the Apple Stylewriter and the Deskwriter, and the deskwrite is definitely faster, althoght that could have a lot to do with the fact that I have
a Macc /ci and the Stylewriter is on a Classic, but wait, no it doesn't beacuse
there is also a classic appletalked to the Deskwriter, and it prints just as fast.
