	Hmmm ... first a disclaimer ... NOT a hardware guru!

	but, the NeXT printer is only a print head.  All the
	imaging and such goes on in the 680x0 and gets sent
	out to the printer.  If NeXT does the same with the
	P5, then you are right .. all you need is a place to
	plug it in.

	I think the same can be said about the NCP.

	Later, hope my thinking is right. :)
