I don't think it is a controller replacement in the printer.    I think
it is a controller that plugs into the PC and then talks to the 
direct video interface of the LJII.     I'm going to have to follow 
up again on the order for mine, I haven't received it yet.     Also,
the company is called The Laser Connection.   Calling them QMS is OK too,
I guess, since TLC is owned by QMS.
