The epson stylus color 880 is neither laserprinter nor a network printer, so it is not a printer in the category I was talking about. I was talking about networkable postscript laserprinters. These can always talk appletalk. e.g. I've got some pretty recent HP laserjets (4100N) in my office that print over appletalk. Same thing can be said about Xante laserprinters and other brands that produces network ready postscript laserprinters. The 4100N is still in production or maybe it is called 4200N or something now. This means that HP is producing printers that you can print to from any 68k Mac from the Mac Plus to the Quadra 840 AV.
