I am looking for an ethernet-attached Postscript laser printer to serve
VAX's running 4.3bsd and VMS, and an IBM 4381 running VM, all of which
are attached to the same ethernet and support TCP/IP. The VMS machine
also supports DECNET.

We would like a printer that has a higher duty cycle than a LaserWriter
and can print faster than 8 pages per minute.  The IBM, UNIX and VMS
computers must all be able to send prints to it, either directly
through the ethernet (preferred) or using one of the other machines as
a server.

We have asked DEC for information about their new ethernet-attached
printer server (and I am sure we will someday receive that info! :-).

Any ideas, tips or help with our search for a solution would be greatly
appreciated. Please send replies directly to me, and I will summarize
and post anything worth sharing.

Thanks,
Peter W. Day
