[Apologies to those who also see this info-ibmpc.]
Hello, netland. A colleague of mine is starting a research project, and with
the grant he got he can afford a laser printer up to about $2500. He was
looking through one of the recent issues of PC Magazine (the "we review
every printer in the universe" issue) and saw an ad from Logicsoft, a big
mail-order outfit, for the Canon LBP8A1 laser printer for $1985. Does
anybody own (or know somebody who owns) this beast? They claim 8 ppm, but is
that 8 *original* ppm? Any idea what the engine's duty cycle or MBTF is?
The bottom line is, would it be a good buy for your average $2000-class
laser printer?
Any and all feedback (directly to me, please) will be acknowledged and
greatly appreciated.
