It's getting easier to connect a Mac to printers other than the LaserWriter
(and ImageWriter). The Feb 21 issue of MacWeek ran a full-page ad for
MacPrint which is a "chooser-level utility." Here's some copy from the ad.
"You can print virtually any Mac application on a whole range of high
quality, lower-priced printers. Including HP LaserJet IID, LaserJet
Series II and compatibles. MacPrint supports all HP internal and cartridge
fonts. You can print two sides of a page and from dual bins in legal
and standard sizes." [Note: sentence structure copied from the ad!]
"MacPrint displays all your printer's resident fonts for true WYSIWYG
performance. If it can't find a resident font, it will create one based
on the QuickDraw screen font. And MacPrint lets you print at your
printer's maximum resolution: 75, 150, or 300dpi."
