Don,

There are a number of lists dealing with printers.  These lists are:

   PAGE-L@UCF1VM     IBM 3812/3820 tips and problems discussion list
   VM3800-L@UIUCVMD  VM 3800 information list
   XEROX-L@TAMVM1    Xerox printer discussion list
   LASER@BNANDP11    Laser lovers redistribution list

PAGE-L deals specifically with the 3812 and 3820 printers and does cover
some issues in connecting the printers to hosts.  The LASER list is a
redistribution of the Internet Laser Lovers list and deals mainly with
desk top printers.  The Xerox list covers the large Xerox printing systems.

At the XPLOR Conference earlier this week, we had some discussions of
either changing XEROX-L to XPLOR-L, or creating a new XPLOR-L list.  XPLOR
is an users' group for large non-impact printing systems and includes
printers from Bull, Eastman Kodak, Fujitsu, IBM, Siemens, and Xerox.

What type of printers (brand/size) are you interested in?
