[comp.sys.mac.misc] Laser Printer Questions

Question - Do you need some special controller or software for the HP Laser
Printer IIP work with a Mac?  The reason I ask is because the best price that
I can find in MacWorld Magazine for one is $1299 while in Computer Shopper
one is offered for $899.  Computer Shopper is a PC based magazine.

Also does anybody have any experience with the HP DeskJet printer?

You need the software driver and the correct cable in order to use the HP
LaserJet IIP. Fortunately, many of the driver packages include the proper
cable. There are two packages that I am aware of, but can only recommend
the MacPrint package since that is the one I am most familiar with.
