use GEOS with a Commodore Printer?

All printers designed for use with the Commodore 64/128 will connect to your computer through the same serial cable as your disk drives. Since this is the standard method, the only problem with using a Commodore printer within GEOS tends to be the selection of the proper GEOS Printer Driver. Selecting an improper driver will make graphics printing malfunction or not function at all, and may disable the NLQ features of your printer. Once again, the best this FAQ can do for those seeking GEOS Printer Drivers is point you towards an internet FTP archive. Many drivers can be found at ftp://ftp.zimmers.net/pub/cbm/geos/drivers/printers. If you do not see your printer listed, the only thing you can do is try many different drivers until you find the one that works best with your printer.
