Well, as far as I know the Apple LaserWriters do *not* emulate the
HP LaserJet. (well, at least the original LaserWriter & LaserWriter Plus
did not, and I don't think the LaserWriter II does either.)
But the Apple *will* emulate a Diablo. I've had extensive experience with
the Apple LaserWriter series AND have been using the NEC for about the
past six months. Maintenance-wise, the Apple wins hands down. The NEC
is a big pain-in-the-ass. Paper jams all the time, toner comes in a box
and spills very easily, the imaging drum comes seperately and is so sensative
to light that exposing it to normal room light for just a few minutes can
damage it.
With the Apple the toner/drum is combined into one convenient cartridge.
Just pop out the old, pop in the new. No muss, no fuss.
