   If you mean sending the Macintosh PostScript output to the NeXT printer, the
   answer is no.  The NeXT laser printer is cheaper partly because it is lack-

   [incorrect hypothesis about NeXT laser printer deleted]

This is wrong.  I regularly print Mac postscript output on a
cube's laser printer.  To produce a postscript file on the Mac,
press command-F (or command-K to avoid the PS header) just after
you click "OK" in a print dialog.  Move the file (probably named
PostScript0) to the cube (Kermit, ftp, zmodem, daynafile, or
whatever).  Print it using "lpr".

If this error has already been corrected in the mac group, I
apologize for wasting your time.  It had apparently passed
without comment in comp.sys.next.
