Yeah, he was also doing print-on-demand books using a fleet of dedicated Apple II machines sending PostScript to Apple LaserWriters.
This was a Big Deal because the standard setup at the time was a Mac connected to a LaserWriter, but it occurred to him that you didn't really need to tie up a Mac if all you were doing was sending the same PostScript file to the printer over and over again.
