Who are they?  Where are they?

Is this an official opinion from Apple?  Are you saying that we should
not be using the ImageWriter as a printer in an educational classroom
environment, where all the students must print their assignments and hand
them in?  Or does Apple have a high-load printer designed for
remote or unattended operation, that they haven't told anybody about?
(low operation cost is important, buying LaserWriter toner cartridges for
class assignments seems wasteful).
