But what I see in that manual, and in some associated documents on site, are consistent to me with the notion that the Next "print engine" is like the HP LaserJet II/III "print engine" which is better-known to be a Canon SX OEM product or design. That's all I know. If someone affirms the Canon/NeXT association further than my evidence, I'd not mind knowing.
The NeXT printer is built around a Canon SX, modified in some way for 400DPI output.
As to the question of some thing, that could operate some laser printer with the signals from the NeXT computer "laser printer" port? I don't know about that. I'm damn skeptical but I can't prove a negative, and if someone makes such a widget, it's a great hack from my view. Good luck.
Agreed. And kinda pointless, because they can print to LPR/LPD printers just fine. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
