We are considering the purchase of a medium speed laser printer to replace a very unreliable Imagen 480 printer. We are currently looking at the Xerox 3700, Dataproducts LZR 2665 and the QMS PS2400. All of these are printers that can produce arount 20 to 25 pages per minute. We expect to feed the printer from a Ultrix based uVAX II which in-turn will be fed from all the other systems on campus (VMS, VM/CMS, MVS, CDC NOS, Tops-10). The software is primarily Scribe and TeX. We would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has one or more of these printers installed. What is the real throughput? Does PostScript slow things down? How do you handle usage accounting? Has anyone written control programs for one of these systems?
