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. 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!
