[comp.laser-printers] IBM Personal Page Printer II

U12570@UICVM.UIC.EDU ("Edward A. Garay") (10/20/89)

We are considering buying several IBM Personal Page Printer IIs
(4216-031) to be connected to our mainframe, and distributed
throughout the University campus.

From the ads and literature it looks like a very nice little printer:
Adobe PostScript, HP PCL, IBM Proprinter emulations (software
switchable), 47 resident PostScript fonts, etc. ...

But I would like to hear comments (good and bad) from real users.
Any information on its print quality, effective PostScript
interpretation speed, serial interface, reliability and ruggedness
would be greatly appreciated.

We've asked IBM to give us one for a trial, but I don't think
they'll go for that (;-).

Thank you very much.
