We have a little PostScript program that runs on the LaserWriter and prints ASCII text files. It produces pages at around 3 pages/minute. Sending straight ASCII text to the LaserWriter running in Diablo emulation mode produces pages at around 3 pages/minute. All of these tests are for essentially full pages of text. So, my question is: Has anyone run a LaserWriter faster than 3 pages/minute producing "average" pages of text? (My measurements ignored the first page time, to avoid counting font rasterization time.) -- Rich -------
