[mod.computers.laser-printers] Imagen 8/300, Imagen 24/300 & Ditroff.

Greetings,

I know some of my question might have been already answered, but I am
new to this interest group so please pardon me for asking it again.

We are looking for information on the Imagen 8/300, Imagen 24/300 and
ditroff.  Does anybody have ditroff working on one of these Imagens?
I have a version of ditroff from System 5, but the raster font files
are 240 dpi  not 300 dpi. Does anybody have any information on how one
can convert these font files from 240 dpi to 300 dpi.

I understand that The Imagen Corporation sells a ditroff filter and
fonts.  For those of you who have used it, how good is it? Is it worth
the money?

For those of you who have your Imagen printers running on an Ethernet,
what is your experience with it?  Have you had any problems?

Please send mail to me.   I will condense the responses and post it
later.

Thanks to all of you for all of your help.

We have both Imagen8/300 and Imagen 24/300 and are pretty happy with
them.  I am the primary ditroff user and except for some spacing
problems (a couple of the special characters are a little off) it
works quite well.  The problem has been minor enough that I haven't
taken the time to complain to Imagen yet.

Cheers.
