	Can anyone recommend a laser printer for the IBM PC and also a
graphics package capable of producing vu-graphs through it?  Variable
sized fonts and simple line drawing are all that are necessary.

We used the IBM PC to test Cougar, which doesn't have a graphics
package, per se, but does allow full page graphics provided as a video
stream from the host (interspersed with text).

Alas, it is not a laser printer, merely a synchronous ("incremental")
thermal transfer printer, 203spi and 6 ppm, ~7 cents/page.

Diablo's (Fremont) OEM price: $2300.00.   Ready to go as a 630 emulator
with the graphics capability described above, as well as downloaded
graphics ability and downloadable fonts (which Diablo is not selling).
