[mod.computers.laser-printers] Imagen Customer Support

	We are using an Imagen Image Station with Lucida ROM
fonts.  Our DIMP package is apparently designed for an 
Imagen 8/300 and does not properly handle some of the special
characters and the Lucida San Serif fonts.  Is anyone else
using a similar configuration?  Is anyone else having
similar problems?  If so how did you solve them?

	I have contacted Imagen Customer Support many times
about this problem.  They have consistently been unwilling or
unable to solve my problems.  I sent them a written problem 
report, it was ignored.  I sent a mag tape containing documents
that would not print, it was lost.  I have called them and 
they were not even interested in LISTENING to my problems
much less solving them.  

	I would like to hear from anyone on the net who has
similar problems with Customer Support.

The biggest problem we have had with Imagen was convincing them
that we knew what we were doing, and that they had indeed sent us
the wrong floppies. . . .  (It only took about a half hour to
resolve.)

In article <8603130246.AA16567@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu>, Steve Qualline,
celerity!sdo who is either at Celerity Computing or sdcsvax
complains about a problem he experienced with an Imagen product
and his dissatisfaction with the way Imagen was handling it.

I can't offer help on his problem, but my experience with
Imagen's tech support has been very positive. 
I sent a request to the moderator to forward my problem
instead of posting it and in response, a representative
of Imagen who was courteous, helpful and knowledgeable
got back to me with the answer a few days later.

I wouldn't even add more traffic to the net except that
I think Imagen has been unfairly accused and fairness
demands a response.
