Until you get to the larger printers such as the 4000 series, 5000
series etc, you have to go by the name. PostScript printers have a P
after the number (so on the older models this was 4P, 5P, etc). Now
it tends to be the models with M after the number e.g. 2100M.
P=PostScript, M=Macintosh the M models usually add an AppleTalk port,
PostScript and Memory. The P models just add PostScript and more
memory. Sometimes they confuse the issue by adding AppleTalk support
separately to PostScript (4MP)!.
