[comp.lang.postscript] 6ppm Postscript Printer w/Ethernet

cld@kd4nc.UUCP (Charles D'Englere) (03/08/90)

 I would be interested in knowing how many user have an interest in a
 postscript printer that can reside on an Ethernet network. I have the
 opportunity to develope such a product if there is enough interest to
 warrant research and development.  What I would like to know from users
 is what they would like to see as far as connections, ie thin or thick,
 or type of communication. If you have such ideas please email your
 suggestions and I will post a summary.

 Thanks,
 Charles L. D'Englere

Birmy Graphics has products that work just fine with ethernet. Dealer's
install standard ethernet cards and the Birmy queue station software
does the rest. For UNIX dealer can setup the Birmy queue stations with
PCNFS. Works great - and fast. Also - the Birmy can read from eight (8)
separate ethernet areas at a time, plus 4 appletalk "client!"
