[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. -- Larry Afrin Dept. of Computer Science Clemson University ================================ Please send replies, if any, to: lbafrin@clemson.csnet or lbafrin%eureka@clemson.csnet or, as a last resort, any reasonable-looking string with "lbafrin", "eureka", and "clemson" in it (And I'm told that Usenet fans can try ihnp4!seismo!clemson.CSNET!lbafrin) I disclaim everything anybody ever said about anything.
