[comp.laser-printers] Looking for recommendations

edward@engr.uky.edu (Edward Clarke Bennett) (03/14/88)

We here in our Electrical Engineering Department are looking to buy
a new laser printer and I'd like to get some recommendations. We already
have an Imagen 8/300 but, while we've been satisfied with it, our needs
have changed since we bought it.

Here are our guidelines:

	We'd like it to run PostScript rather than Impress. We
	are gradually converting to TeX and want a printer that
	"speaks TeX's language." (In this vein, what is a good
	way to use troff with a PostScript printer?)

	We'd like it to be able to sit on an Ethernet. As our
	departmental LAN grows we want printer access to be easy.

We can compromise on the Ethernet ability, it'd be nice but it's
not essential.

What are people using out there? I'd appreciate any comments or
recommendations, good or bad, on what you are using.

Thanks in advance!
