Piece of cake.  You need to call NeXTConnection (1-800-800NEXT).  From  
their PCConnection catalog they will sell you the appropriate Pacific  
Data PostScript font cartridge and memory upgrade.  Plan to spend  
between $500-$800 depending on whether you have a II IIP IID.  From  
their NeXTConnection catalog they will send you the appropriate cable  
for say $15. Fiddle the front panel of the II to set it up for serial  
communication.  Then use PrintManager to configure the NeXT properly,  
and you're in business.  You can even publish it to the network.  We  
have 2 IID's on a NeXT network.  They are slower that the NeXT  
Printers, but hey, we are doing PostScript over serial lines.  The only  
issue is lack of bin selection.  That's not a problem for us, we use  
the same paper in both bins, and it just feeds from the non-empty bin,  
selecting the top one first.  You don't get a manual feed option on the  
Print Panel.  NeXTOS3.0 is supposed to solve the bin selection issue.
