I'm thinking of getting an HP LaserJet printer shortly (I got this really
good price, you see and.....).
I'll start by hooking it up to my PC, but I'm eventually gonna get a
3B, and I was wondering about using it as a real live public-domain/
semi-private bulletin board typesetting service.
What's involved in getting troff (and those of it's ilk!) to do decent
typesetting on it. I mean, if I download a page of pixels to it for
full typesetting/graphics at 9600 baud we are talking ALOT of time
per page:
300 dpi * 300 dpi * 8 * 11 = 7,920,000/9600 = 825 secs ~= 14 minutes
just for the dowload! There has to be an easier (and faster) and cheap
way of doing it. Anybody??
