I just bought and read the PC-Magazine annual printer survey. It looks like NeXT is falling behind in its printer offerings. 600dpi is now the new high-end PC mono-printer standard based on a new Canon P-270 engine (e.g. HP-LJ4), and the HP paint-jet XL300 outperformed the Canon BJC-800. So: [1] Has anyone tried to hook up a Paint Jet or even a DeskJet C500? Is it plug and play? [2] This question is most important for me: ** To make presentation slides, is there a way I ** could save a NeXT color image to a file and print ** it off a PC with an HP 500 C? Or print it off an ** arbitrary Color laser jet printers, which I presume ** would be much easier. (Are there some ** print-shops in the West-LA area where I could go ** and pay to print a few slides?) [3] For curiosity, has anyone hooked up an HP-LJ4? Can my NeXT communicate with the HP-LJ4 through its very-high-speed parallel port (e.g., through the DSP port)? /Ivo Welch PS: Anyone noticed? NeXT screens are no longer high-end, either, because 1280*1024 on-screen has become a new (very) high-end PC screen standard. I'd love to get crisper text.
