According to MacWeek, 12.04.90:

"Apple aims to introduce a 360-dpi inkjet printer for less than $600...the
printers will come with a TrueType Startup document, decoupled from the release
of System 7.0, and 13 TrueType fonts (the Times, Helvetica, Courier, and
Symbol families.)"

Sounds like a good deal.  They are due in the spring, according to the same
article.  Of course, this is MacLeak, so take all information with a LARGE
grain of salt.  You can get a HP Deskwriter (300-dpi inkjet with same fonts
as the Apple one) right now for about $600 including tax, educational discount.
The HP is about $250 more than the IW II, but is worth every penny.  With ATM
and a few nifty laser fonts, you can produce some great output, and with
Freedom of the Press Light (about $80) you can even get Postscript.
