Have you seen our QuickDraw based interface for this printer?  We offer
"option 44" for this printer, a NuBus interface card, cable, chooser-standard
driver, and manuals.

This package works well with ATM, or uses the 4x screen fonts (provided) as
does the LaserWriter IISC.  The system does a great job with MacDraw II,
although 'Draw II is limited to 8 colors, (RGBCMYWK).

The retail on this package is $495.00, street price may be less depending on
where you buy.  Minimum system requirements are color video, 2MB+ of RAM,
(it will work with less, but SLOW!) and an open NuBus slot in a Mac II
family machine.  The output is good, and it works with everything but
Illustrator 88, and Cricket Draw. (Freehand works great.)  With ATM, the
quality is very close to PostScript, the only drawback is a lack of
networkability.

Mail me at my above, AppleLink D2392, or call 800-872-7924 if you want to
know more.
