The Color LaserWriter was a line of PostScript four-color laser printers manufactured by Apple Computer, Inc. in the mid-1990s. These printers were compatible with PCs and Apple's own Macintosh line of computers; these printers were also able to connect to large networks by way of the use of an 10baseT Ethernet port. Two models were released.

A PostScript printer, the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS color laser printer was intended for small business and consumers with high printing requirements. The Windows-compatible driver was of interest due to its ability generate Postscript files (.ps) for later printing.

This printer was released one year before its replacement with the Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS, which had the same specifications as the 12/600 PS, but was sold at a lower price.

The Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS is a color laser printer introduced by Apple in October 1996. The printer became a workhorse used in Kinko's copy stores across the United States.
