I'm posting for a colleague who is having difficulties posting from his machine. He can read the news and be e-mailed, though, so replies to him. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone know of any better emulations (Epson, HP, etc.) than the Diablo 630 for the Atari laser printer. A guy at Silica Shop in the UK said he has a pre-release version of an Epson emulator as well as a pre-release Postscript emulator, but the output he sent me shows it's not close to release yet. Also, does anyone share our feelings here that the toner cartridges for the Atari laser don't give anywhere near the rated 3,000 copies? We've been asking people to note down how many copies they print, but even allowing for under-reporting we don't get much above 1500. And no, these aren't graphics with lots of black areas on the page; most pages are printed from First Word Plus or are mainly-text files printed from Timeworks Desktop Publisher.

There is an Epson emulator that is distributed by Atari Switzerland with the Atari laser printer, seems to work quite well (I think it was originaly sold by DMC as LaserBrain). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!poole Simon Poole BITNET: K538915@CZHRZU1A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
