[net.unix] Laser Printers

jackson%nadc@sri-unix.UUCP (03/12/84)

I am interested in interfacing a laser printer type output device
as a spooled device to a VAX/UNIX system. Has anyone done this, if so
what type of printer and problems you had in the past or present with
such a system.

                                    Thanks,

                                    Clyde W. Jackson,Jr.

Couple of questions regarding laser printers for unix machines:

1) Any suggestions/comments about vendors for laser printers?
	(ie, QMS or HP printers)
2) Does UNIX support (have filters) already for some of the 
    laser printers such as the HP or QMS?
3) QMS has a TROFF filter for theirs. Does anyone use this and
   any comments?
Any comments about the use of these new lower cost (< $15K) printers
would be of help.......
