This month's MacWorld has an interesting article on LaserWriter-compatible printers. According to the article, the QMS PS-800 Plus stands as _the_ printer for the Macintosh. Quoting: "The PS-800 beats the LaserWriter by a length, but the PS-800 Plus beats the LeaseWriter Plus by a mile. The fastest printer of the four tested, the PS-800 Plus is the only printer running PostScript version 44, which is faster than earlier versions and far more memory efficient." The article ends with saying "unless you have a service contract with (or stock in) Apple, there's no reason to consider a LaserWriter Plus over a PS-800 Plus." BTW, the PS-800 is also $300 cheaper than the LW Plus!! This article really made me feel ignorant. I haven't even _heard_ of a QMS printer, and don't even talk about it being the _best_ PostScript laser printer for the Mac! Does anyone knows about or has direct experience with this printer? The office I work with is relying on me to buy a laser printer, and after this article I'm not sure that the LaserWriter Plus is the printer that we should get. Comments anyone, or are you all flattered by this article as I am?
