>This whole conversation reflects the basic public misunderstanding of >laser printers. They are not fast; they just sound that way. This is bologna! Laser printers are fast, if all you want to do is what other printers can do. i.e. text and low res graphics. If you want to 'take advantage' of the capabilities then it slows down. There is however, an advertising technique which make them sound even faster than they actually are. It's "n pages per minute". A 10 page per minute laser printer can print 10 copies of the same page in one minute. That does not include transmission time or page layout time. > | thelake!steve@stag.UUCP / ...rosevax!pwcs!stag!thelake!steve --j.a.tainter
