NEC 870 macX driver ideas?

[Debberoo]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to find a driver for an older NEC 870 superscript printer to work with system 10.5? I'd like to use it as an extra printer for just printing simple things like plain text documents or web page searches, etc.

Easy as pie.

That printer is included on the list of printers supported by Gutenprint.
