The Laser Connection, is QMS'S sales arm.  In the 5 years that I have been
a dealer for QMS and The Laser connection, I have never known them to sell
to end users.  3 or 4 days ago I had a talk both with my QMS rep and IMAGEN.
I was told that the Ultrascript product won't work on an IMAGEN 8300, even
though it supports EPSON mode???? (Told That by Imagen).  I was told in
detail, about what was going on with Imagen, (by The Laser Connection), and
that "they had had a fight with Imagen, and that they were allowed to sell
only to dealers, and only in 10 unit lots".  Now I am very good friends with
LOTS of people at The Laser Connection and QMS.  The particular person who
told me this, was Pam Callicott, whom I've dealt with for years.  I am
willing to believe that I may have not gotten the entire answer, but I
implicitly trust my source....

Imagen told me that I'd have to get USPC from The Laser Connection......
ThThese people( Imagen), I don't know.
