I'd be interested in having a "real"
postscript printer.
The Laserwriter, or Laserwriter+ are a good way to go for Postscript.
Get a copy of the PrinterWorks CX engine catalog - exploded views, parts
lists, etc.
If this one doesn't work out, you can also get Postscript by plugging in a
Postscript cartridge into a Laserjet 2, 2p, 3, 3p, . . .
There are several different Postscript cartridges, not all are compatible
with all printers.
- Is there a way to print a test page w/o pluging into
a computer?
turn it on. by default it prin ts a test sheet during power up.
- Can this be interface to a straight PC? If the
DB-25 is RS-232, I'd
assume so.
yes.
- Is toner readily available?
yes, but getting harder to find. CX cartridge. same as Laserjet[-]
(just called "Laserjet", and HP prefers to call it classic, rather than
"-") and Laserjet+
