MachTen does not support QuickDraw based Stylewriters, only line and PostScript printers. You can use a Stylewriter as a straight ASCII line printer by setting up an entry in the printcap as an ASCII printer pointing to a serial device. There are examples in the /etc/printcap file on how to do this.
