For a variety of reasons, I need a printer that can work with a variety of
computers. The choices are (and these are not mine, but reality) either
a Personal Apple LW NT or a QMS 410. Both have the same print engine, the
QMS has auto sensing serial, parallel and Appletalk ports but both have at
this time Postscript Level 1.
 
So:

(a) Does anyone have any data/ subjective feelings regarding the hardware
    reliability of the QMS printer (vs. the Apple one)?

(b) Will the QMS printer work with a NeXT Cube (cable type?) ? The problem
    I don't understand, amongst a whole lot of others with 3.0 which has
    transformed my Cube into a different world (a nice one), is that 3.0
    uses Postscript Level 2, which I assume is a superset of Level 1. So,
    how could it print to a Level 1 printer?

Thank's...,
