Is it possible to use a NeXT laser printer on an IBM MS-DOS machine?
What kinds of physical connections does it allow for?  In terms of
software compatibility with other Postscript-based printers, is the
fact that there are no NeXT print drivers for most MS-DOS applications
going to cause a problem, or does the NeXT printer emulate something
standard like the Apple LaserWriter?  It's a shame if NeXT didn't
anticipate the need for their laser printer to be used outside of the
NeXT world; as far as I can tell it's the only 400 dpi postscript
laser around at anywhere near a reasonable price.

Please respond to me directly as well as the newsgroup as I do not
read this group often.

Thanks,
