I was wondering what experience, if any, people have been having with the Centronics laser printer that has been showing up in surplus lately. Dave Ritchie ..!hplabs!hp-lsd!ritchie

The beast has been nothing but trouble. It is under supported, poorly designed, oversized, and requires an enormous amount of patience to set up. Right now, I get a wide gray streak running down each page, and the service manual has been of no help in remedying the situation. Oh, and did I mention that it is really slow, a full page bit mapped image takes over an hour to print. In other words, it is available cheaply for a very good reason; don't waste your money.
