The LaserWriter 8500 is a laser printer manufactured and sold by Apple Inc.. This printer is the last version printer of the black and white LaserWriter series. In fact, it is the model with the fastest processor, most memory and best PostScript interpreter out of all the black and white models. This printer also prints pages in A3 as well as A4 format. The printer was supplied with a SCSI port to enable the storage of fonts on an external hard disk attached to the printer. Local storage of fonts speeds up all printing, especially of A3 pages, by avoiding the need to download fonts. Note the printer cannot be connected to a PC or Mac via the SCSI port.

Drivers are currently built into Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X for the Ethernet protocol and OS 9 for LocalTalk. The simplest way of connecting a PC is to use an IEEE 1284-C compatible Micro-Centronics parallel cable, however there are reportedly ways of connecting via Ethernet. Status of Linux drivers unknown at the time of writing.
