Well.. The Laserwriter II was also based on a Canon SX engine, which was the engine for the LaserJet II. My wife still uses a LJ II or III, and I've sold LW II printers and parts for well over a decade. Wikipedia describes the lineage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserWriter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet (probably an entry for neXt...) Point being, calling all these "a LJ II" is a plausible term of convenience, as LJ II's and III's were the most common of the printers discussed. Herb -- Herbert R.
