  We, and others we know, had problems similar to the above with QMS printers
  4-5 years ago to the extent that we (and others) decided not to buy any more
  QMS printers.  We ended up throwing one away, because it failed and neither
  QMS (we shipped it to them) nor anyone else could fix it: QMS claimed that 
  it did, and charged us a good chunk of money for the exercise, but it didn't
  do anything for the printer.  Given the number of people who have recommended
  QMS here since then, I thought that the company had changed.  Maybe not.
