[net.text] TeX laser printer info wanted

os@cstvax.UUCP (Oliver Schoett) (05/25/85)

I might soon be interested in purchasing a TeX-capable laser printer
for a university department.  I would like to ask for information about
such devices (manufacturer, resolution, price, your experience etc.).

In particular, the printer must be able to interpret TeX's DVI file format,
preferrably supported by the manufacturer.  A simple protocol conversion
would also be ok (e.g. DVI -> PostScript), but it would be unacceptable
to ship bitmaps from the host.
The printer must also be capable of handling the many fonts that TeX uses
(40 or more).

Please mail me and I'll summarize to the net.
