Can NeXT output its printout to a DeskJet or DeskWriter printer?  
The NeXTstation is a nicely priced computer, but requiring a laserprinter
to handle its output is expensive, not to mention the cost of toner
cartridges and extra maintenance cost for the laserprinter.

A DeskWriter printer will also have the advantage of occupying less 
desk space.  Yes, I know that the NeXT's laserprinter is relatively cheap
compared to others; and students probably can send their postscript files to
school system for output but still it would be convenient to be able to 
connect a cheap printer to the NeXT.
