We recently installed 3 Talaris 2400 printers on a cluster of DEC
8600's.  Although it is a little early to tell, they seem to be working
well, and the integration with VMS is good. Graphics and typesetting
files are dealt with by the VMS print spooler (as modified by Talaris)
like text files. The 2400's seem to be plug compatable replacements
for DEC's impact line printers. The primary drawback is the limited
input paper hopper size (1500 sheets). The 2400's are sufficiently
similar to the LN01's (both are QMS derivatives) the DEC has agreed to
maintain them.
