The RIP ... the "brains" in LaserWriters ... is an Apple design, using a PostScript interpreter licensed from Adobe, with fonts licensed from Linotype/Hell. The later LaserWriters appeared to be completely assembled by Canon, with the exception of the RIP board, which was supplied assembled and tested by Apple. The early LaserWriters had the ABS plastic top made by Apple and applied, with the RIP board and its card cage, by Apple after importing it. So, mostly made by Canon, and never made by HP. HP bought the very same marking Canon CX/SX/EX etcetera engines which Apple bought. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
