    The advice I gave you in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9263156#9263156] also applies here.

    I see you're still looking for a printer for your SE.
    Have you thought about the StyleWriter II?

    For $20, you can get a Color StyleWriter 1500 from AdoptAMac:

    Than for the reply and for telling me that I would need to do the same as the Epson LQ 300 printer to get it working. Also, Yes I have looked into the StyleWriter II but the thing about that printer is it has a hard to find ink catrige that I can't find anywhere.

    The StyleWriter II, according to Mactracker, uses an Apple Black Cartridge M8041G/C or a Canon Black Cartridge BC-02.

    You can find these cartridges on Amazon.com

    Hi,

    I agree with adsfushi72 that the StyleWriter II would be worth having a closer look at. It is a good printer. See KB article TA28764 for compatibility information. As already indicated, and as mentioned in KB article TA21667, it is possible to use a Canon BC-02 cartridge. BTW, it is not difficult to refill the cartridge, if necessary.

    The use of a Color StyleWriter 1500 may be a bit problematic in this very case, though (at least according to the system requirements in the technical specifications here).

    Jan

    Thanks for the reply and I will take a closer look at the StyleWriter II by what you are telling me I am starting to think that I should buy the StyleWriter II. Also, I do not think that I need a color StyleWriter because my computer will not print in color. It is a B&W computer so it does not print in color.
