[fa.laser-lovers] Laserwriter/Transcript/graphics comments wanted

Is anyone out there willing to comment their use of the Apple
Laserwriter with Transcript?  (Transcript is the troff-to-Postscript
software sold by Adobe).  We are looking at getting a second laser
printer, because our Imagen 8/300 is maxed out, and the
Laserwriter/Transcript combo costs about 1/2 of a similarly equipped
8/300.

One particular need I am struggling with on our 8/300 is complex
graphics output (~100k vectors/page) from programs making CalComp
plotter calls (almost have that one licked) and emitting Tektronix 4014
hi-res plot codes.  Has anyone done something like this for the
Laserwriter?

I'm currently working on bringing up Transcript to work with the first
of 7 LaserWriters we are getting here at UCLA Computer Science.
I should have some comments about the task in about a week or so.
We currently have 2 Imagens (the wet process/ 240 DPI creatures).
