The January 1991 Computer Shopper has an ad for a $995 PostScript Laser Printer from The Printer Works. This is a refurbished Canon LBP-CX engine (new engine add $300), and a QMS JetScript controller, which is a IBM-PC card that controls the printer. They also have JetScript upgrades for the HP LaserJet, LaserJet Plus, and LaserJet II. Does anyone know if this is any good? They don't say if they're using Adobe's PostScript interpreter, although they do say that they're using Adobe fonts. I'm thinking about taking one of these puppies, putting it in a PC clone, dropping in an Ethernet card, then running a freeware LPD. I'm printing moby PostScript files, some as large as 4 MB, and I want to be able to send data faster than 9600 baud. -- --russ <nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu> Humble Quaker, and damned proud of it.
