I would like to buy an inexpensive printer that would work with a
Macintosh and a Next. a HP Deskwriter seems good for the Mac, and a
DeskJet with ghostscript fine for the Next.

Are those actually different names for the same printer? Are there
some differences which would make the ghostscript Deskjet driver
unsuitable for a "Deskwriter" ?
