This sounds suspiciously like the Electronic Printing Systems
division of Xerox Corp., and their tabletop 4045 laser printer,
resolution 300 dpi, similar control language to their 2700 printer.
If it's the same beast, you had best be prepared for incredible
headaches in trying to use it with your ST's. If you already are
an expert in the 4045's internal formats (especially of fonts), you
may have a chance of using it, but it has peculiarities that can make
it frustrating and unpleasant to deal with.
