I am interested in a 'site' laser printer such as the Printserver-40, can
existing or other interested users put me straight on:
        - does the MicroVAX run VMS or Ultrix
        - can we get at it via TCP/IP and /or DECnet
        - does it have the same font collection as the LaserWriter at least
        - how do the economics compare with traditional lineprinters eg
          DataProducts 2260-type
        - what reaction do you get from users used to fanfold music-paper
          when you move to cut A4 or whatever
        - how does the advertised '40 pages/min' match up to reality
        - what sort of additional load is placed on the Ethernet
        - what host s/w is available or are you using successfully

Thanks...TREVOR WRIGHT
