Re: Most modern color printer for IIGS?

Wouldn't pretty any clor printer w/postcript work? gs/os had laserwriter
drivers that I THINK supported color... most shpould have some sorta
serial inreface. if not, ya can always get one of those ethertalk/local
talk bridge things and connect it that way - most color poscript
printers support ethertalk...

so unless i am nuts (i just could be...) pretty much ANY current color
laser should work for gs / mac use.
