Ok, so what 3rd party (non-DEC) laser printer do *you* use with your Vaxen?
We're using Xerox X2700s (yuk-poo). The Xerox Technical support people around
here act like they've never had one (or any) of their machines hooked up to a
REAL (tm) computer before, and can't seem to get them to work reliably (or help
us to get them to work so). Any recommendations?
(BTW: we're turning about 6000 pages a month)
Thanx,

We have a wide assortment of HP Laserjets hanging off our Vax (4.3bsd, not Ultrix). We use Elan's "eroff" and DWB for most stuff, and also use the lj's for plain old dumping of files. I currently have a Laserjet+ with 2 meg memory option sitting next to me on a "spooler box", so that my (and my office neighbor's) Vectra PC's com1 cable and the Vax port can both drive the device without conflict. (The spooler box does handshaking so that the device just looks busy when the other computer is using it.) >(BTW: we're turning about 6000 pages a month) I'd suggest looking into the Laserjet 2000, which is the high-volume one. The literature says max 70,000 pages per month, so you should have no problem! See your local HP sales rep...
