[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Mac -> IBM 4019 laser printer ?

wilde@boulder.Colorado.EDU (Nick Wilde) (05/10/90)

Anyone out there have experience hooking an IBM 4019 laser printer to a Mac ? 
(to a IIcx, if it makes a difference).  I have a chance of picking one
up fairly cheap, but don't know how difficult it would be to get the 
beast to talk to my Mac (or vice-versa).  It looks like a fairly generic
300 dpi laser printer, with HP LJ II emulation built-in, and an option for
postscript. Comes with 512k of memory standard, upgradable in 1 meg chunks.
If I go for the postscript option, how much memory is needed to make it
usable ? How 'bout the LJ II emulation - are there Mac drivers available for
the HP LJ II?

As you can probably tell from the above, I don't have much of a clue
what's involved here. Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Thanx.
