Message-ID: <137@cybavax.UUCP> Date: Sat, 10-Aug-85 21:47:13 EDT Article-I.D.: cybavax.137 Posted: Sat Aug 10 21:47:13 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 15-Aug-85 08:32:18 EDT Distribution: net Organization: University College Swansea, Wales Lines: 24 Xref: linus net.text:506 net.wanted:6177 net.unix-wizards:11548 Xpath: reading gateway.cs Can anyone reccomend some printers for use with nroff and eqn (and even tbl). We would like the quality to be good enough for thesis production, so a good dot-matrix or a daisy wheel is acceptable. Please bear in mind that we only intend to use nroff and NOT troff so anything like a posh and expensive laser printer is probably OTT, anything up to about 2000 pounds sterling or whatever that is in dollars is ok (3000?). I know how to build the tab???? for printers having done one for the tandy/toshiba 2100 family but they a) dont have full greek symbols and b) have a firmware bug that makes them unsuitable for lots of micro linefeeds in both directions which eqn etc are going to need. So if you have used a printer that can easily support a full greek/math set with fairly good paper movement control (up/down 1/100 of an inch is more than enough) but have not specifically used eqn/nroff please let me know anyway. Any experiences anyone has would be gratefully received and if their is a demand I will post a summary to the net. Email to me please first.
