  I need some help in selecting a laser printer.  I have an Amiga computer
so I would like to get something that works with this.  This means that
I would like to have an HP or something with HP emulation.

  My wife has a Mac SE so I am looking for something which is compatable
with this computer as well.  This is where I have no knowledge at all.
What kind of interface, compatability, postscript, or whatever is needed
to properly work in the Macintosh environment.

  Ideally, I would like to get an HP LaserJet II with some kind of plug in
board to make it work with the Mac, but I do not know if this is possible.
Alternately, I could write an Amiga driver for the Laserwriter, but I
would like to avoid this if possible.

   Any help from people with some experience in this area would be most
appreciated.  Thanks.


As usual, E-mail is appropriate, and I will E-mail a summary to requestors.
Also, advance apologies if this has been beat to death in the Mac or Laser
group, I haven't frequented them before.
