Sorry, but a $20,000 test suite is not going to tell you squat! The most widely-used tests of this type are from QualityLogic. Their test suites (formerly the "Genoa Test Suites") are used by most of the printer companies. But plenty of printers "passing" those tests fail when dealing with sophisticated output from newer, graphic intensive applications, including Adobe Acrobat, InDesign, and Illustrator. Generally speaking, if the printer you are purchasing has Adobe PostScript 3, not emulation of PostScript, you at least have Adobe's assurances with regards to conformance to the PostScript language specification. For example, most but not all of the Xerox Phaser printers license and use Adobe PostScript 3 (the Phaser 3450 is the one that doesn't). All Xante printers use Adobe PostScript 3. NO current Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer and NO current Lexmark printers use Adobe PostScript! - Dov
