From: Rich Cohen <CMP.COHEN@UTEXAS-20.arpa> There was a note about a DVI driver for the LaserWriter a while back that quoted 3 pages/minute printing speed. We have a little PostScript program that runs on the LaserWriter and prints ASCII text files. It produces pages at around 3 pages/minute. Sending straight ASCII text to the LaserWriter running in Diablo emulation mode produces pages at around 3 pages/minute. All of these tests are for essentially full pages of text. So, my question is: Has anyone run a LaserWriter faster than 3 pages/minute producing "average" pages of text? (My measurements ignored the first page time, to avoid counting font rasterization time.) -- Rich -------

It looks as if some things will run faster than 3 pages/minute. Our little PostScript code for printing ASCII files just did 21 pages of the LaserPrep at 5.5 pages/minute (in 10pt Courier on 12pt). (this is NOT the Diablo simulation mode). The LaserPrep file is a "typical" program listing -- a fair bit of whitespace on the right side.
