I have a friend with an IBM-PC. He wants to hook up a laser printer
to it. His preference is to use Wordstar as his word processing
program. Mostly he want to do text output with some limited graphics
(like charts etc.). The output must look pretty nice, because the
documents will be used professionally (he will use it for business
letters etc.).
He wants to know;
1. Is this a reasonable thing to try? (I think it is
because I have heard of this being done.)
2. What good software packages are there out there that
will work with a laser printer? Are there specific
software packages that work well only with specific
laser printers?
3. What are the pro's and con's of the different laser
printers? He is considering an HP Laserjet and the
Applewriter(?).
4. Any other helpful information.
Please mail to me (he is not on the net), and if warranted, I will
summarize and post.
(Apologies if this topic has been worked over in this group: I
myself have never touched an IBM-PC)
