I just read in the 8-23-88 MacWeek about MacJet driver by Laser Connection,
a subsidiary of QMS of Mobile Ala.   "This driver acts as a quick draw driver, 
allowing users to print from any Macintosh with at least 512Kbytes of RAM to 
Hewlett Packard's LaserJetm LaserJet++, LaserJet Series II, LaserJet 500 and 
other HP-PCL-compatible printers.  The driver costs $249 and includes the
software, cables, a user's guide and a variety of HP downloadable fonts,
including TMS Roman and Helvetica."

Since I've seen LaserJets for less than $1900, this looks pretty attractive.
You get to use a good, popular printer for which supplies and service are 
always readily accessible.

I use Word and MacDraw (to make foils) and feel that Quickdraw for me is
probably good enough.  I'd like to ask if anyone has had any experience
with any of the low cost lasers (listing the price, since I'm not up on
the latest products and price).  This list would include Apples' entry
level laser, the General Computer laser and others.  Image quality, text
sizing and placement, compatibility with screen are important. Speed and
networking are not all that critical to me since the laser would be dedicated. 

I thank you in advance.
