We are looking for a replacement for our old AppleLaserWriter Plus and
HP LaserJET.  What we would like is a printer with automatic emulation
sensing between HP PCL and Postscript.  By automatic emulation sensing
I mean that the printer examines the information as it arrives and decides
whether the characters are a postscript image or a PCL image.  I know QMS
has a least one such print, a real pricy 20 ppm printer, but we'd like
something a little less fancy, but with the performance of something
like a LaserWriter NTX. The printer also has to have Appletalk. If anyone
has any information on such printers I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks.
