``sales'' asked:
Wanted to buy: NeXT Color Printer. Also want
information on this
printer. - Specifications
It's a re-badged Canon BJC-800/820 with SCSI connector and logic board for
same. CMYK, 360 x 360 dpi. Apple also licensed this design as the Apple Color
Printer, and Lexmark sold it as the 4079
At one time, Canon Japan had a NeXTstep driver for the BJC-800/20 on their FTP
site....
