Hi,
I need the advice from you experienced laserprinter users:
I would like to build an evironment that makes laser printers available
within an ethernet (DECnet) based network of computers. It should include
one larger printer (to serve the students) and several small printers (for
local use at various departments). All printers should be available to
all computers and the printers should all accept the same input format.
Various textprocessors will be used on the different machines. There are
going to be VAX/VMS, VAX/VMS-EUNICE, VAX/ULTRIX and later on various UNIX
based workstations (dont blame me, I was in the US when they choose the OS).
- Are there any one with experience from this kind of system?
- Should I stick to one family of compatible printers (eg QMS) or to one
input language (eg PostScript)?
- Any comments, suggestions, experiences etc are welcome.
I have seen that troff and Scribe support are available for PostScript
printers. Any one working with TEX?
