- Yes, it is possible -- I've been using an Apple LaserWriter II NTX on
- an A2000 and an A1200 for several years.
-
- Assuming that your LaserWriter has a Serial Interface (RS-422 or
- RS-232) all you need is an appropriate cable. WorkBench includes PostScript
- drivers that work with the LaserWriter, as well as drivers that will work
- with some of the LaserWriter's other emulation modes.
