We recently installed an Imagen 6320 (owned by QMS now) that does Impress and UltraScript (a PostScript clone). It has duplex printing and can handle upto ledger (11 x 17) paper. I just finished writing a substyle for LaTeX which sets a two column format for direct transfer to large mats for a conference (NAECON). Before we had this printer, we had to print strips on letter or legal size paper and transfer those to the mats. Now I can get the whole image on an 11 x 17 piece of paper. Only problem was that something in either my dvips driver or the printer (most likely the driver) caused the output to start halfway down the page, which I solved by telling LaTeX its topmargin height was -6 inches. The only other minor complaint is that the print engine produces much lighter type than say a LaserWriter, but not nearly as bad as a DEC LNO3R ScriptPrinter. Otherwise, we've been pretty happy with this printer. Mark Roth mroth@afit.af.mil
