For trade..i plan to being to the holiday party a Next-branded Laser printer, a modified HP Laserjet II. I will try to test it this week, it's complete probably works or is close. Should be able to accept a HP Laserjet cartridges and replacement parts. If you have a NEXT computer you might not have one of these. I might have a spare i/o cable, not sure even what the cable type would be. Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net

Is definitely be interested in the NeXT printer but not sure what I'd have in trade you'd be interested in. Would love to add it to my NeXTStation. Tony

Dibs for the museum :) since we're about to get our first NeXT computer.
Oh I've got two and would be willing to part with one. The printers have not been the most desirable in the past since they sold quite a few and they're slow and not all that usable without a NeXT as they are software driven... Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to Festivus this year, though. David

Actually they're 8 pages per minute, which is what just about everything else what in that era. Further, being driven from the PostScript interpreter and rasterizer in the NeXT host system, they were considerably faster than most anything else at the time at crunching PostScript, and are 400DPI (vs 300) to boot. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Yeah, the museum likely has something more up Bill's alley to trade for it....even though I already called shotgun! ;-) Tony

They do; standard EP-S cartridges like all Canon SX-engine-based printers (LaserJet Series-II, -III..) The engine is modified to do 400DPI, but there are no cartridge differences.
If you have a NEXT computer you might not have one of these. I might have a spare i/o cable, not sure even what the cable type would be.
They use DE9<->DE9 cables but I don't recall if they're 1:1 connected or not. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
