I'm currently interested in evaluating a package consisting of SUN
NewsPrint with a "better quality" print engine(s). The most recent list of
supported print engines (sunflash 19mar91) shows 4 printers (Talaris) with
ethernet support and throughput rates exceeding 12ppm. This meets with two
of my criteria for a prospective print system. Print quality, local
service, documentation, and technical support are also important factors.

If your site is running Sun NewsPrint with one of the higher performance
printers, I'd like to hear about your experience (good and bad) with the
print system. Reccomendations of supported print engines are welcome as
well.Does NewsPrint provide sufficient control/diagnostics to solve
problems with the print system (esp. during installation and startup)?

Also, I'd like any information on any sites that have generated support
(either locally or through SUN) for new (unsupported) print engines. Is it
difficult and/or time consuming to generate support for an as-yet
unsupported print engine? If implemented outside of SUN, was the technical
support from SUN (concerning the new implementation) readily avalable?
