There have been some problems reported with this configuration, and I'd like to find out exactly what they are, how (in)surmountable they might be, etc. A recent (5/30/88) issue of InfoWorld includes a product comparison of a number of PostScript printers driven by IBM PCs. The Laserwriter NT reportedly had enough problems being driven by a PC that the testers had to "resort to using a Macintosh". We've had a year or so of very good experience using a LaserWriter Plus with PC clone equipment, but these reports about problems with the NT are giving us more than a little concern about purchasing an NT or NTX as our next PostScript printer. Any comments or leads here will be appreciated.
