I'm not an Apple person but I like their printers.  If you want a cheap 
printer that works anywhere try picking up an NTR.

The NTR has both PCL & PostScript capabilities (switchable but not 
automatic).

It also has three ports: Parallel, serial, apple-talk.

You can pick up the tone from $10 from ebay.


It's slow but it works on most any system.  There are several Apple printers 
with parallel and serial ports but beware many of the printers with a 25 pin 
connector are not serial.  Some Apple printers allow you to attach a SCSI 
disk drive for font storage using the 25 pin connector.
