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. -- -Bob --- Robert L. Hartley, Jr. MARTIN WADE HARTLEY & HOLLINGSWORTH P. O. Box 88676 3590 N.

For a while I could get it at my university for less than $200, street price is about $375. -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.
