Perhaps Apple's tech database would give you an answer? I don't remember that Apple made a parallel SW but that was during Weird Times at Apple...they made all SORTS of off-the-wall stuff. They could have decided to make a foray into the PC printer world... Finally, are you sure it's a _Stylewriter_? Apple's Stylewriters were mostly re-badged Canon Bubblejet printers with Mac serial interfaces...it could be just the plastics from a SW slapped onto an ordinary Canon printer.
