I do have one more question. I was only parroting the lore I heard out there and mistakenly repeated it - "The Next Printer is just a Laser Jet II with a Next Badge"....where did that come from then? I am well aware that there are many incorrect anecdotes in our hobby. Is this just one of them? Before you know it they'll be saying the Apple II was not the first computer ever.
It came from an idiot who doesn't know what a laser printer "engine" is, made an assumption likely based on superficial mechanical similarity, made another assumption about who actually made the HP LaserJet printer mechanism, and made proclamations based on those assumptions. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
