It most certainly is a PostScript printer. I am sitting here talking to 
one with LaserTalk, the PostScript programming tool, and it says "Adobe 
PostScipt version 51.8". It is 4 ppm rather than 8, but what holds you up 
for anything but simple text is (usually) the speed of the printer's 
processor rather than the speed of the engine itself. Perhaps you were 
thinking of the LaserWriter IISC?
