What alternatives are there? We charge .25 a page for the LW >and the IWII is free. The IFI (inst of Computer Science) at the University of Zuerich has developed a printed circuit board whichdoes just that. it uses a coin device (the kind you find commonly on photocopy machines) attached to the LW. However, this method is only useable in situations with low to medium printer traffic (we have a room with 32 macs, two of which only are connected to the LW), for obvious reasons. -- Danny +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mail : Danny Schwendener, ETH Macintosh Support Center | | Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, CH-8092 Zuerich | | Bitnet : macman@czheth5a UUCP : {cernvax,mcvax}ethz!macman | | Ean : macman@ifi.ethz.ch Voice : yodel three times | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
