The NeXT printer has a higher resolution than Apple's and is less >expensive than the NT. If possible, has anyone actually done this? Not unless you have a NeXT computer to go with it. The NeXT laser printer basically contains only the machinery to generate laser printouts. It does not have a PostScript interpreter or other comparable intelligence to draw pages. All of the processing goes on inside the NeXT computer, which then bit-blasts the entire page to the printer for hard-copying. If you have a NeXT, though, it is possible to send the Mac's PostScript output to the cube for processing and subsequent print out on the laser printer. Eric Ly CSLI, Stanford University
