Hello all,

	I need to purchase a laser printer for my wifes desk-top publishing
venture. My dilema is I have both a Mac plus and an IBM AT 286. I will need to 
use the printer with both PCs. Preferably using a switch box.

	My questions are, what do I need for such a setup (ie, printer type
postscript or other) and which brands to look towards (ie, NEC, QMS).

	A problem I have is I don't know much about laser printers. Is
there some source that will inform me on postscript, fonts (soft or other),
memory requirements etc. What I do know is I need a printer that has many
font types. If postscript makes this easier than buying multiple font car-tri
dges I will prefer postscript. I ask for pros/cons.

Someone PLEASE help, these printers cost a bundle and I don't want to buy the
wrong one :-)

Thanx in advanced!!
