Hold onto you seats boys and girls and get ready for a surprise!!!  The NTX will no longer be the big boy on the block.

Well what do you know, QMS not only makes great printers but they also give out good advice!

There is no OFFICIAL word that can be spread, but it'll be good.
Any bets that they won't be called the LaserWriter III?  III is an unlucky number for Apple.

You may want to wait and see...
As for the phasing out of the NTX-- even if Apple does, as with all Apple products, it will be serviceable  for a long time to come.  Anyone hear of AppleCare?!?!  I'm sure when Apple does open the curtains on some new printers, you could get some real deals on the NTX.
