When is someone going to make a postscript printer that sits on
the ethernet? As far as I know, current postscript printers
sit on a RS232 port. This is slowwwwwwwww. The ONLY reason
that we are not going to postscript is because of the large
amounts of time required to get a job printed, especially if
it is a bitmap. We currently have an Imagen 8/300 which is
about to die (just the other day we printed ~1500 pages in a
12 hour time period, far more than it was designed for) and
we will have to buy another laser printer. If there were a
postscript printer that set on the ethernet, it would
probably be purchased just because there are a lot more
products that produce postscript than there are that produce
impress.
So back to the original question, when are postscript printers
that sit on the ethernet coming out?
