Hi,
	We are currently moving our applications from a mainframe
enviroment to a Pyramid UNIX system.  At the moment we do alot
of high volume printing from the mainframe to a Xerox 9700 
printer.  I do know alot about this printer but I believe it
uses a IBM bus/tag protocol to talk to the host. 
	What I would like to know is :

	1) Has anyone connected a IBM bus/tag protocol printer (preferably
       Xerox) to a UNIX host or TCP/IP terminal server?  If so please
       send me details.

	2) What other solutions do people have to high volume printing?
       What brands of printers are in use?  Are they connected to
       hosts or ethernet?

Any other details or pointers would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
