We are about to switch to using PostScript for our output of
troff files.  At about the same time, another major group in
our office is about to switch off of "mainframe word processing"
to PC's and WordPerfect.  This latter group will be using HP
LaserJet's as their output device.

It woule be nice, if our PostScript printer were LaserJet
compatible to serve as a backup to the other groups needs.
Obviously, this is not the major criteria in the buying
decision, but it is a factor.  Thus, I would like some input
from those more experienced than me as to how compatible are
the various HP "compatible" PostScript printers?

BTW, the likely list of PS printers has been narrowed down to
either the Apple LWII-NTX, or the NEC LC-890.  No reason this
list can not be expanded, but I would be particularly interested
in comments about these printers.
