Hi. We're a VAX/VMS site and this office wants to purchase it's own printer and set up a queue seperate from the computer center. We do a lot of publication work, and are just beginning to fool around with Scribe and TeX. The computer center here has a Xerox 4050. As things stand, neither TeX nor Scribe seem to work correctly with it. (TeX Version 1.3, DVIXER Version 2.1, and Scribe Version unknown.) It appears that if you want something done (weither done right or not), you've got to do it yourself. Thus, after numerous complaints about fixing the problems with the Xerox interfaces, we've given up and want to get our own setup. The question: Which printer? We're looking at the LN03's, and there seems to be a lot of TeX software for it. But which one? What are the differences between the LN03, the LN03+, and the LN03 ScriptWriter? Is there a better alternative for about the same price (or less)?
