Hi folks! We need some advice on selecting a laser printer. Our situation is..... It will replace much of the printing done currently by a Data Products BP 1500 band printer. It will be connected to a VAX environment (either directly to a 750, 780, 8250, terminal server, etc.), which means parallel port or serial port at >=19200. We would like the speed to be somewhere around 15 ppm (actual, not rated). 8.5x11, normal weight paper is fine, 11x17, and heavier bond paper is optional. We are planning to print up to 70,000 sheets per month. The price range should be around $15,000. Along with the suggestions, please feel free to add comments with respect to reliability, maintenance, indirect costs, memory required, etc... Thanks for the help! +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John Pritchard Computer Center | | Administrative Programmer/Analyst Carleton College | | 1 North College Street | | Northfield, MN 55057 | | jpritcha@carleton.edu U.
