I am thinking of getting a NeXT cube, but the NeXT laser printer
doesn't look like a particularly good buy because it requires a cube
to be attached to it, and I have seen reports of serious CPU loading
while the bit-map is generated and then sent to the printer.  Further,
the NeXT only has five of the thirty-five fonts that you usually see in
a postscript printer.  So, I have decided to buy an 'ordinary'
postscript laser printer to go with it.

The candidates (selected primarily on a basis of cost) are the NEC
LC-890, the QMS 800, and the QMS 800 II (the QMS printers are currently
available from a surplus house).  There is a NEC at the office, so I am
familiar with that, but the QMS printers are a mystery.  Can someone
comment on the difference between the 800 and the 800II and provide any
caveats or praise?

Thanks!
