The Xerox Phasers will quite readily connect to the HP3000 and print very
efficiently. However, their native language is PostScript, not PCL. In our
case, that's not a problem. We do essentially all of our printing in
PostScript.
We have two Xerox/Tektronix Phasers here, one a true laser (the 560) and the
other a crayon based phase-change device (the 850). Both are excellent
printers -- and every PC and every HP3000 is set to print to both of them.
You can see the phase-change printer at the extreme left of these two images:

To allow the HP3000 to print via the LAN to the printers, external HP
JetDirect boxes had to be connected to their parallel ports, but once done,
all of the PCs and HP3000s use the same TCP/IP address.
