My division has decided to buy a color printer for our network of Suns,
PeeCees and (soon) one NeXT. We want the print to hang off the NeXT, but
here's the problem: the NeXT color printer is o.k. output, we'd prefer
something like the Tek Phase PXIIi plain paper printer (~$9k), BUT
the NeXT has NO PARALLEL PORT!

Just think, a 3-4Meg Postscript file could take 20minute to send over
a serial line - totally unacceptable.

Has anyone found an alternative? Are there 'good' printers that support
SCSI input (many have SCSI for a hard disk, but not input)?

Thanks in advance,

Eric S. Boltz
