	We now have four HP LaserJets, and, for $2990 a piece at 47th Street
Photo, you can't find a better replacement for the Daisy-Wheel printer. 
We run them directly off the printer ports of our Terminals (vt220s, Ann
Arbor Ambassadors, Televideo 950s).

	The font selection is limited, although getting better. We have one
font cartridge with Bold and Italic Courier 10 pitch and a line printer
font.  Another has proportional fonts, with Times Roman in 8 point
medium, 10 point medium, italic and bold, 14 point Helvetica Bold and
the line printer landscape (yes, six fonts).

	We have hired a consultant to produce a TROFF conversion program and
it seems to work well as a pseudo-typesetting machine.  (The problems seem
mostly to be to get his software to run on the Pyramid) One problem so
far:  The amount of control sequences, which are numerous combinations of
Escape codes, can be so large that it takes up to 30 secs. send a
typeset page at 9600 baud.

     Any one with questions is free to contact me, via mail or phone.
