NEXTSTEP users will find nearly 20 pages of detailed information about printers for NEXTSTEP on the Stepwise server. Web pages for The Printer Works can be found at: http://www.stepwise.com/ThirdParty/ThePrinterWorks.htmld/index.html Web pages provide information about: * Two new laser printers for NEXTSTEP -- the StepWriter NX and BX models * New and refurbished NeXT Laser Printers (priced at $395 and $295) * A unique Exchange Program for used & broken NeXT Laser Printers (only $295) * Background about The Printer Works -- who we are and how to contact us In recognition of the importance of the Stepwise WWW server to the NEXTSTEP community, The Printer Works has signed as a major sponsor of the Stepwise service. Stephen Roberts, President of The Printer Works commented, "We want to do everything we can to help NEXTSTEP users find the information they need to get full use of NEXTSTEP. With the demise of NeXTWORLD magazine and the growing importance of the World Wide Web as an information resource, sponsoring Stepwise is the right thing to do." Norman Goldfarb, CEO of WhiteLight Systems, Inc, and underwriter of the Stepwise server, said, "Having wrestled with NEXTSTEP on white hardware, I really appreciate The Printer Works' commitment to supplying printers engineered for NEXTSTEP use. Of course, Stepwise users also will appreciate The Printer Works' financial support of the NEXTSTEP community's WWW server." The Printer Works is a privately-held company, founded in 1982, that provides depot repair service and manufacture of laser printers for specialty markets. The company has committed to supporting the NEXTSTEP market with new printers designed specifically for NEXTSTEP, plus sale and repair of the original NeXT Laser Printer. # # # The Printer Works is a trademark of The Printer Works, Inc.
