Mac OS XWhat type of port does an "Apple dot matrix printer Gen 1" have? If it has an Apple serial port, you may have a secondary problem getting it to connect to a typical Windows PC?

This web page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Dot_Matrix_Printer
says that printer is based on a design by C. Itoh. So maybe you can find a driver for the equivalent C. Itoh printer. For some reason, this web page comes up as a source for C. Itoh printer drivers (maybe this company bought printing-related assets from C. Itoh)
