- I'm in the market for a laser printer. I have a Mac Classic and
- I usually print memos from Word, slides with some flowchart-type
- graphics from MacDrawPro and PageMaker, and some small spreadsheets
- from Excel.
- I understand the difference between the PostScript printers and
- non-PostScript (QuickDraw) printers. I've been told things like
- only PS printers will give me high quality output when printing
- non-text. Although, I'm willing to spend ~$2000 if necessary, I'd
- much prefer to keep it < ~$1500. What printers can give me high
- quality output in a reasonable time?
- I'd like to get a feel for how slow the non-PS printers are. Is
- the Apple LaserWriter LS painfully slow? Is it true that it does
- not come with a spooler so I could regain control of the Mac while
- printing?
- Any comments and suggestions about any laser printers would be
- greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Ken
