I would say to get yourself the best networkable Apple Laserwriter you can
afford. Shreve Systems has Personal Laserwriter NTRs for $749. This is the
kind I have and it's compatible with every IIgs program I've tried except
Print Shop GS which doesn't work with any kind of network printer. And it
works perfectly with Macs of course. Just make sure you get one with networking
in the hardware so you don't have to use greyshare to network it. You're best
off in getting stuff to work with your II when there's an Apple logo on the 
front.
