This is a question that a lot of new Mac users (like myself) would be 
interrested in.  What printer/cabling/driver combinations fill these
requirements:

1)  The absolute cheapest output from the Mac, both graphics and text (prob.
    a Grappler 9-pin w/ cheap 9 pin Centronics).

2)  The cheapest near-LASER quality (very good inkjet) for TEXT (graphics
    nice but not necessary).

3)  The cheapest laser printer.

4)  The cheapest postscript laser.

Email replies.  Remember, put the printer, method of connection, printer
driver, and any possible problems with the printer set up (remember, this
is for NEW Mac owners, like myself) and I'll post a list of replies in a
week or so.
