The IIP works quite well with the Mac.  It does not have Postscript, but
you don't necessarily need Postscript.  If you get the IIP and a printer
driver such as LaserJet Express or Freedom of Press, the IIP can give you
results that look as good as a LaserPrinter!  I'd also recommend a printer
font manager such as Adobe Type Manager (actually, I recommend it no matter
what printer you get) but the need for Postscript I have found is overrated.
It does NOT take 2 minutes to print per page as another poster has claimed.
With a Mac Plus, ATM 2.0, and LaserJet Express I get a page about every 45
seconds, and that is using 3 Adobe Type 1 fonts per page.  My IIP has 3.5
Megs of RAM in it...  You will need to expand your RAM no matter what you
do - the 512K it comes with won't get you far.
