From: jqj@GVAX.CS.CORNELL.EDU (J Q Johnson) If you want to have a 4045 printer on your network (with Interpress) you need to buy a Xerox T22 processor as the server, plus the appropriate software. That pushes the cost up to only a bit less than an 8044. I haven't seen pricing data from Xerox yet, but my estimate is that the total system will cost about $10-13K including printer. In that configuration it's a nice machine, but it will probably have problems competing with a Laserwriter or networked Imagen except in marketplaces that need Interpress (Adobe, where's that Interpress to Postscript translator?) or a standalone XNS-based server. Related question: If one wants to hook a Laserwriter to an Ethernet as a print server/spooler, (let's say running TCP/IP and some arbitrary print spooling protocol) what's the most cost-effective way to do it (assuming you don't have a spare Unix machine handy)?
