message: I don't know the exact introduction date, but the price list I have from early 1986 shows it as "new".  I think it's likely that it came out in late 1985, but I'm not positive.  Elf | Talk 15:57, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: The print engine itself was a Canon LBP-CX Engine . It's worth noting that the LaserJet shared the same print engine. The LaserWriter II and the LaserJet II also shared an engine. In these printers, major components like the fuser, scanner, and power supply are actually interchangable. This trend continued for years, the LaserWriter 4 and LaserJet 4 were powered by the LBP-PX engine. I'm an HP LaserJet and Linux user, so I don't know how long the LaserWriter existed, or for how long they used Canon technology. www,fixyourownprinter.com is an excellent cross reference resource though, so it might make an interesting research project.
Peace out my McFriends

replies: text: It's taken eight years for this information to appear in the article. I surmise that Apple fans are upset that their printers are essentially rebadged Canons. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:38, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Some of the citations on how "revolutionary" the printer is are from a book printed by Adobe. The Adobe Press is not a reliable source for evaluating the quality or value of their own products. --208.54.5.76 (talk) 06:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable citations 

message: The various pages on the individual printers were all listed by another editor for Proposed Deletion, with the basic facts merged here. Because some of them were too weak to stand on their own without extensive further work (none of them had references to the relevant review articles in the various specialist magazines), and because we generally do not make individual pages for product models even if can be theoretically justified by the GNG, I redirected them all here ; after a merge, redirect required to maintain attribution.   However, it seems only the most basic facts were merged. I don't think the articles contained much inappropriate detail, and more of the contents should be merged--most of it in the text, but some possibly in a table. fortunately, the original information is in the edit history of the redirects. I'd do it right now but there are too many product articles I'm trying to do similar basic rescues at the moment.     DGG ( talk ) 23:29, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

message: For historical purposes, is there any desire to include a list of the LaserWriter's embedded fonts, as well as those embedded with later LWs? I know the LaserWriter Plus had about a dozen more.
