- Jeannie,
-
- May I suggest looking into an Apple StyleWriter, an inkjet printer?
-
- While not as high a resolution as a LaserWriter, they do print very
- solid and black. The HP inkjets are very good quality, but I shy away
- from non-Apple printers just because I want assurance that I'll always
- have current print drivers, and because they all support both text and
- graphics.
-
- There are also a number of _lower_ priced non-postscript "personal"
- laser printers on the market. Apple has one, as well as GCC and others.
- Be absolutely sure if you go non-Apple that you understand whether or
- not the printer supports graphics (if you want graphics ability). Some
- will ONLY do text output, and not true WYSIWYG (what you see (on the
- screen) is what you get).
