Our department needs to buy a laser printer to connect to our local Sun
network. I would like to get one that we can hang on our Ethernet instead
of having a "slow" 9600/19200 line from a server or workstation. (I guess
we can crank the line speed up to 38400 off a workstation, but then that
particular workstation might be a bit overloaded [3/50,3/60] :-)
We are nearing that part of our budget year when they start clamping down on
purchases, so we need to write a requisition by this friday.
Anyone with information about available products, prices, how to do it,
what additional software (other than transcript, lpr, lpq, lpc, etc),
* PLEASE * let me know what is available. We don't want to buy "just
another printer just-like-the-one-that-other-department-bought" because
we didn't know about this wonderful, cost-efective, printer from so-n-so.
Send E-Mail, or post if your mailer can't find me. We'd like postscript
and I'd guess the ethernet port may only exist in high-end printers, but
I'm hoping that some of the lower-end models have it.
If there's interest, I'll summarize. Remember, I need the info ASAP, so
don't wait till you have time to look it up, to get the 100% right info.
I'll take whatever you can point me to, sales contacts, 1-800 phone
numbers for HP, DataProducts, NEC, etc..., Name brands, Model numbers...
advTHANKSance!
-Carl
