I routinely print on Legal Paper (text & graphics) with my NeXT
Laser Printer. It is a real pain, though, trying to use the manual
feed portion of the letter-sized cassette. Much to my surprise
and delight, however, was the fact that my HP Laserjet III Legal
paper cassette slips right in. 

On another note, the NeXT letter cassette makes a wonderful
envelope cassette for HP printers, as well!
