If you are sick and tired of the inkjet printer 'circus', get a Laser!  
Come get it, it works!  I will hold it for the first person by email 
date and time on their reply message.

This is 'heavy iron'' in the concept of 300,000 print outs in its 
lifetime, before failure, as predicted by Apple (Canon and HP!) for 
these workhorses!  The 'hard parts' were built for 750,000 runs...

Monochrome only.  Paper tray holds 200 sheets, or envelopes.

Network connection for the AppleTalk NeTwork system, plus, serial 232 
and 422 port (DB25)!
The G model had another board with network connector for 10baseT! That 
is not on this system...

*Apple LaserWriter IIf and IIg controllers are available separately to 
upgrade LaserWriter II SC, II NT, and II NTX.*


The 4,000 printout Toner Cartridge goes for $19 to $29, new, on the 
Internet!  But, this one is still great!

And, on all the Laser Printers I have used, especially these CANNON 
ones, designed and built by the  Canon company to the demands of Apple, 
we only shake, to redistribute toner, when ever the light would come on!!!

Contains the Postscript font set... Adobe Plus, of 35 fonts!  The 
LaserWriter II NT is an Adobe-based PostScript printer designed to be 
adequate for the needs of most Apple Macintosh users, and, drivers are 
included in the Microsoft XP systems as native code, plus, it runs under 
Linux and BSD! 

PLUS, it can be connected as a Diablo630 printer to any PC!  FONT 
INFORMATION

Resident fonts are the same Adobe-licensed 35 typefaces that were first 
introduced with this printer's predecessor, the LaserWriter Plus. This 
group of fonts has since become known as the Adobe "Plus" set. No 
additional resident fonts can be added. Additional fonts can be 
downloaded, and performance is reasonable as long as only a few soft 
fonts are used at a time. Macs allow an unlimited number of downloadable 
fonts in a document by paging them through VM (Virtual Memory). If many 
non-resident soft fonts are required, they will not fit in the available 
memory and the host Mac may have to reload the same fonts repeatedly to 
complete a document. The result will be slow printing.

It is an Apple Laserwriter II nt, and, it is using a 68000 
microprocessor that zooms along at 11mhz!

There is 2 Mb of RAM onboard.  No provision (as built), to expand the RAM.

After Friday, if I have no response here, I will put the mainboard up on 
eBay, where they are going for

$129.00!   Printer sold for $3,999, when NEW!!!
