I happened to notice an ad in the June MacUser for
a PostScript Level 2 printer from Software and Hardware
that Fits. They claim it is the first Level 2 printer.
It has a RISC processor (details not specified), and they
claim it's 4-5 times faster than other Adobe PostScript
printers, though their own figures show it as twice
as fast as an NTX.

They give some impressive-looking performance figures,
and it appears to have a good list of features, like
multiple paper trays, and auto switching between
interfaces on 3 ports (AppleTalk, IBM PC Parallel,
serial).

Has anyone used one of these? I don't need a printer
with this performance, but if this is as good as it looks,
I can foresee downward pressure on prices for the sort of
printer I actually need.
