If you get a reasonable driver, then sure, the Mac-generated files will print just fine on a NeXT. It will do at least as well as any other environment with Mac-generated files. I'm not up to date on my Mac drivers, but I think those greater than 6.0 or 6.1 might work. And Adobe is writing a new Mac driver that will be guaranteed to generate files that can be printed on the NeXT. For comparison, let's put it this way: if you can generate a PostScript file on your Mac and print it on any PostScript printer from any machine, say a PC or a Unix box or whatever, then the NeXT will have no trouble with it. After all, the NeXT is basically just a fancy Adobe PostScript printer with a keyboard.
