I finally procured a printer cable and new black ribbon, and tried out my $8 badly yellowed ImageWriter II. Didn’t work. Couldn’t communicate with it. Looked at the manual and saw there are some dip switches so took a look and found one was different from the default on SW2. Flipped it and tried again, it worked! Although the very first line of text on the very first page gets scrunched vertically a bit, probably mechanical so need to take a look at that but the rest of the page is great.
Then went to see what that particular dip switch setting was for and it’s the localtalk option card. Forgot about that. So took a look inside and the printer has that card. Cool.
