has the product you are asking about.  I have seen it running in the local
Apollo sales office.  I am just now ordering it so can not give you any
first hand experience.  Appears to have lots of software to do many different
things.

  =-=- This note is in response to yours which follows -=-=

A while back, I saw a few folks kicking around the notion of putting an
Appletalk card into a 3000 or 4000 series Apollo, and then modifying the
PRSVR to converse with an Apple LaserWriter over Appletalk.  This was
supposed to address the poor printing speed when dealing with large bitmap
output like those that result from CPSCR calls.
    Has anyone actually done this?  What driver do you use, and where
do you purchase the cards?  (Are they standard Apple-supplied boards?)
