I'm sure this has been discussed before but I must have missed it.
What is the least expensive laserwriter I can use on a macplus system?
This would only be used from the one mac, so sharing of the laser is
not an advantage. Also, will the less expensive laserwriters work as
well as an apple laserwriter? Meaning, do they print at 300dpi, and
will I have access to several fonts?
Check out the HP LaserJet IIP. List price $1495, but it's available for
$995 some places. The software and cable (MacPrint, by Insight Systems)
are available for $79 from MacWarehouse (list $149). This is a real live
300 dpi laser printer, with nice fonts and everthing.
Caveats: I haven't actually seen it working.
I don't know what performance would be like from a MacPlus. (you
could call Insight and ask them?)
