I work in a department where there are a dozen Macintosh IIs
connected via TOPS. There are many "artistic" jobs here that
take approx. forever (30 mins.+) to print, such as PageMaker
documents with several logos and text in several fonts, etc.
During all this time, the printer light blinks and blinks just
so that a sheet of paper gets sucked in during the last 30 secs.
There must surely be a better away to print a one-page layout.
I would like to know what is the closest thing to instantaneous
printing I can buy, hardware and/or software-wise.
