[comp.laser-printers] TI OmniLoser 2115

I just talked to TI's service department about a problem  with  the  OmniLaser
2115.   Their  marketing staff has been claiming you can get 20,000 copies per
OPC.  The service staff tells me this is true, IFF you  print  the  same  page
20,000  times.   If,  on  the  other  hand, you print (as most people would) a
different page each time, the OPC has to make 3 revolutions per page,  so  you
only  get 7000-9000 pages per OPC.  We at Caltech are now stuck with a printer
that costs ~3 times as much to operate as we expected; if you're  thinking  of
buying one, you might want to bear this in mind.
