The defacto 'standard' card, both software, hardware. The Epson
command set is like the AT command set. Nearly every printer does it.
This card works with nearly anything that connects to it. Even stuff
that is 20 years newer. It supports graphics and text. Straight simple
printing, no buffering, no bi-directional support, etc.

Similar to the Epson APL.

Tymac Tackler - this has print screen abilities and Epson emulation
for other printers that didn't support Epson ESC. It's Grappler
compatible.

Epson APL compatible - Text/Graphics printing.
