Message-ID: <8805311527.AA11818@brillig.umd.edu> Date: 5 May 88 13:45:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 19 Approved: laser-lovers@brillig.umd.edu Hi, all. Quick question to all those people who have purchased DEC's PRINTSERVER 40s. (LPS40s). How do you like this printer? I have heard that it really can do 40 pages per minute of postscript output, is this true? How fast is it with ANSI text that needs host translation? We are a college environment, so the really important question for us is HOW IS THE RELIABILITY? At 40 pages/minute, that engine must be just flying. Does it hold together under continuous printing? We need to make our decisions fairly quickly, so any advice anyone has would be greately appreciated. Please send to me directly since I am no longer on this list. BITNET: JWMANLY@AMHERST - John W.
