	We are putting together a network of around 100 macintoshes, which
will be connected via PhoneNet and bridges and very possibly a few FastPaths
of Gatorboxes.  We need fast printing, but nothing fancy--just straight
ASCII.  Are there any Lineprinters out there we can use?  Can we have the
students send print jobs to a cue say on a SUN so that they can be printed
out at high speed on a line printer?
	We rather not invest in Laserwriters when all the students need are
printouts of their Modula-2 projects.

	Please e-mail me, I'll post a summary if I get an adequate response.

	Thanks.

	Alex Cohen
