Does the laserjet (or any other low-cost laser printer) work well with the AT&T
PC 6300 and 7300 ? How little does it cost (;-)? How hard is it to get it to
work with these computers? How fast is it? How good is the print compared to
the Imagen laser printer ? What supplies does it need (special paper ? toner?
pre-mix? ). Are the supplies expensive ?
For the 6300 : Can you print GEMDRAW pictures on the laserjet ?
For the 7300 : Can you troff to the laserjet ? Is there a version of troff
available for the 7300?
Are any special drivers needed ? Does the laserjet come with them?
The above questions apply to any low-cost laser printer you may have information
on. Please reply and I will summarize and post to the net.
Thanks a lot in advance !

LaserJet: $2995 List; Discounts available -- see random Byte Magazines. > How hard is it to get it to work with these computers? For the 6300, there are several packages for MSDOS -- check Byte. For the 7300, troff is supported by ELAN Computer Group (415) 948-8193 > How fast is it? 8 pages/minute. > What supplies does it need (special paper ? toner? pre-mix? ) > Are the supplies expensive ? Nothing exotic. Only toner cartridges needed ($99/each). > For the 6300 : Can you print GEMDRAW pictures on the laserjet ? Don't know. > For the 7300 : Can you troff to the laserjet ? > Is there a version of troff available for the 7300? Yes. Looks great! See ELAN Computer group mentioned above. > Are any special drivers needed ? Does the laserjet come with them? It's just RS-232. No special drivers needed. The LaserJet Plus has a Centronics option in addition to RS-232. -- Ken Greer amdahl!kg
