You will need a parallel card or a serial printer for printing. Something which is PostScript and HP compatible is ideal. HP printers can handle plain text, which you would need for 8-bit programs, and I'm fairly certain that GS/OS programs can handle PostScript. There are two routes to getting online: one is using TCP/IP (this is how your Windows PC or Macintosh would do it), and the other is to use a "shell account." IMHO, TCP/IP programs are slow on the IIgs, but shell accounts are hard to come by these days (and you need a basic knowledge of Unix).
