Very little difference. Counts as one printer.

These are all essentially the same thing.

I mean are you really gonna tell us that takng a LaserWriter and
upgrading to the next version of PostScript and adding 32 fonts
qualifies this as a ``different'' printer.  Granted it's physically
a different printer, but not different in the sense that an Epson
MX and a TI Silent 700 are different. In this context ``Different''
means different resolutions, different command sets, etc.

>and the non-Postscript LaserWriter IISC (six).

Yes, this is actually a new printer.

Make that THREE printers the Mac supports.
