I use AW 3.0 with output direct and as-is to an Oki OL-400, a $400 HPII 
compat. I've prepared ms for publication submission this way, and 
produced my own thesis copies to go directly to binding. There's an HPII 
patch for the printers section of AW 3.0 somewhere -- that's what I used.

In the lab, I have a PowerPC 8100/100AV, a SPARC Classic, an SGI 4D 
GX4000/50 and Personal Iris and more PCs and Macs laying about, all 
hooked to a Panasonic Postscript huge monster of a printer. I'd still 
rather use my GS, and do, and nobody can tell the difference.
