dunno if you need a REAL postscript printer or not, maybe this'll help:

i got an HP LJ2 ($1500) and a LC2 board from Lasermaster Corp for
slightly more.  i use it with ventura.

the LM board provides the 35 bitstream fonts that match what comes
with the Laserwriter and prints them a LOT faster!!!!

ventura can spit out postscript. the LM board can let yousee proofs
or produce camera-ready FAST. it can also convert postscript files
and print them (albeit slowly, but then again postscript is SLOW) via
the free LM-Page utility.

all in all, the most bang for the buck, and saves $ too.... IF you're
using ventura or gem or windows or ...., i believe that its the most
cost/effective way to go, and i'm not aware of any down side to the deal.

if your interested, lemme know, maybe i can help...
