Wrong. The Personal LaserWriter NT is a networkable Postscript printer 
based on Canon's LBP-LX print engine, which has a duty cycle rated at 
150,000 pages, or half that of the LaserWriter IIs but 50 percent more 
than the original LaserWriter. The printer uses $99 toner cartridges that
print about 3,500 pages each.

The Personal LaserWriter NT includes 2 Mbytes of RAM, which can be 
upgraded to 8 Mbytes, and 1.25 Mbytes of ROM loaded with Version 51.8 of 
Postscript as well as a subset of the code for the Adobe Type Manager 
font scaler. It ships with 35 Adobe typefaces and two IBM PC graphics 
Extended Character Set fonts. For use in mixed-platform environments, it 
offers Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Plus (PCL 3) and Diablo 630 emulations and 
an RS-232C/422C serial interface in addition to its LocalTalk port.
