[comp.sys.next] Will a NeXT work with non-NeXT PS printer?

mcguffey@muvms3.bitnet (Michael McGuffey) (08/31/90)

What are the problems involved on using a NeXT box with either
a Laserwriter IINT or HPLaserJet III w/Postscript (Adobe's)?

Is it possible?

We have the printers and I'm looking at purchasing a NeXT .

thanks,

I have a non-PostScript printer attached to my NeXT, viz., an HP
LaserJet II. I added a Pacific Data Phoenix Page cartridge and 2MB of
memory. The whole thing ought not to work, but it works fine.
