What printer do you recommend for use with macs?  We use several mac
programs, and also print to it in postscript from the unix world.  Currently
have a IINTX, which is just fine, but they're expensive.  For half the
price would could get an hplaserjetIII with ps cartridge.  Does it
work seamlessly in the mac environment?  Any known problems?  Quality?
Speed?  Requires any extra software drivers, hardware translators?
Handles downloaded fonts?  Accessible via appletalk, like laserwriter?
Handle large volumes?  Reliability?
(I haven't been able to find macworld or macuser articles on this topic.
On usenet, I saw one comment that the inkjet printers' ink doesn't dry
well, and comes off, so we wouldn't want that.)

Email or post.  I'll be happy to post a summary if I get sufficient response.
