   I might give this a try fo the epson.  On a slightly different point,
has anyone hooked up a device other then the NeXT laserwriter to the 
printer port on a slab?  How hard would it be to make a coverter to go
from the printer port format to a centronics connector?  (And, how
interested would other people be in having such a device?)

Music Fonts:
   A while back, a person posted a message about the NeXT not having a
PS music font.  In the same message, he/she mentioned that for the
apple, there is a free music font available for the Mac via anon ftp
from sumex.  Given that other people have mentioned moving Mac fonts
to the NeXT, is there a reason that the free music font can't be used?
Or is the font only free to Mac owners.

3'rd party developers
   While some may complain about NeXT's participation on comp.sys.next,
I would like to mention that some of the 3'rd party developers do read
this group.  Thanks Pencom and Lighthouse!

DSP
    Another post asked where to get info on the format used by the DSP
port on the NeXT.  This might be covered in the 56000/56001 manual which
Motorola sells.
