Does anyone out there actually drive a page printer (laser or lcd) with
their Amiga (or know someone who does)?
If so, what sort of speed do they get?

I'm looking, for instance, at the new(ish) OKI lcd printer, which claims
up to 6 ppm. But experience of ordinary line printers on the Amiga
suggests that any problem is not with the printer but with the driver: a
page of graphics takes around 15 mins. That's about 4 ppHOUR :(

So can someone advise me please -- are drivers available which make it
worth buying a page printer, or should I just forget it and preserve my
blood-pressure :-)

TIA .... DaveB
