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)?

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.
