[comp.sys.sgi] Anyone use a Tektronics 4692 color copier?

schwitrs@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Charles David Schwieters) (02/05/91)

   We have a Tektronics 4692 color copier and are looking to have it repaired 
                           ^
and connected to our 4D240. Before doing so I would like to hear of someone 
else doing this and whether the result was acceptable. I have seen a few 
postings from people using tek 4693's, but not the model we own.
   Also, please tell me it is true that /usr/lib/print/tprint is a filter 
program which converts silicon graphics image files (.rgb) to tek4692 format.
   Please email replies.

Thanks, 
Charles

   Well, according to the file /usr/spool/lp/model/centface
the file tprint is used as the filter to convert to Tek 4692, and since
SGI filters only convert from SGI .rgb formats to printer formats, looks
like you are set.
   I haven't seen a 4692 in operation, so I have no idea what the quality
of the print is like.
