Re: Imagewriter II good source?

[Jeremy Morgan]

Both of those vintage printers are quite heavy, eBay is a bad idea.  I  
have a LaserWritter II and it is very very heavy (maybe 60 lbs).  Your  
best bet is to go to a thrift store or to some small computer stores  
that deals with selling used equipment, i've gotten deals on old apple  
equipment at those stores because they don't want mac "crap".

Alternatively, i'd be interested in a Laserwriter - perhaps to
recreate an early desktop publishing scenario...
Thrift stores are good sources for printers, particularly since
ImageWriters and LaserWriters were quite common.  Typical prices
are $5 to $20 (depending upon where you go), and you will save on
shipping.
ImageWriter and LaserWriter drivers have been included with Apple's
operating system since at least System 6, and I suspect much earlier.
The LaserWriter drivers will work with many non-Apple PostScript
printers (just make sure the printer supports LocalTalk).
