It's nothing too exciting, but I'm happy to report that my ImageWriter II printer is back up and running.

After some fumbling around on the software side, I finally got everything working again. The zot-zot-zot sound of a dot matrix printer in action will be seared into my brain forever. I made a short video for grins:
