I heard on the grapevine that QMS will be coming out with a laser printer
using the canon LBP-CX engine, in the 4 th Quarter of this year. This is
supposed to be compatible with their 2700 based printer. Does anyone
out there have more info on this??

I am looking at a spec sheet from QMS that shows their Lasergrafix(tm) 800.
It is the Canon(tm) LBP-CX engine, so all those spec are the same.

The QMS side is exactly the same as the QMS L-1200, 68k et al.

It is Plug compatible and the QUIC software commands are exactly the same.
It does all the same Bitmap,Vector graphics, portrait and landscape print-
ing, down line loading of fonts, etc, etc.   The only difference is,
of course, there are no tray switching commands and no staker off-set
commands. Price is approximately 1/3 the QMS L-1200.

QMS is taking orders now and will be shipping in June. They have
something like a 70 - 100 units backlog.

Hope that is the information you were looking for.
