We have a PS-410 and we love it. We have a network of Macs on Appletalk,
a Compaq 386-33 running Unix on the parallel, and a generic 386 running
DOS on the serial. It's the only printer that can do all three without
having to do the dip-switch/rotary-dial/reboot dance.

We seem to have an intermittent problem, though: when printing one job in 
PostScript on the heels of another job in HP emulation, the auto-sensing 
software gets confused and still thinks it's in one emulation and we end 
up with printouts of the PostScript source.

BTW, anyone else run into this problem?
