[comp.sys.amiga] SCSI LASER PRINTERS

	Some time ago I remember glancing at a computer add in the newspaper
for a SCSI interface laser printer for something like $2000.  I didn't
bother remember the brand of the laser printer and just assumed that the
SCSI interface was nothing special.  Now with some growing interest in
investing some serious money on a laser printer, I have been reading some
consumer guides on printers.  None of the printers evaluated had any SCSI
interface.  Does someone out there know of a SCSI interfaced laser printer?
Also if thre does exist such a printer, how will the Amiga interact with
it?  Will something like the ASDG SDP board and some special SCSI printer
driver be sufficient to trick software into thinking it is sending characters
to a very fast parallel or serial port?

 Try contacting Ed Lippert at C. Ltd. I understand he is working on one.
