[Message for comp.laser-printers]

The new HPIIIsi is available with an ethernet interface. But according
to my informations do the ethernet interfaces only support Novell NetWare,
3com 3+open or HP LAN Manager protocols. We are running about 250 unix
workstations, mainly DEC and SUN, and we want to connect a number of
the IIIsi printers in our network. Connecting them to a serial interface
is not a solution because of the low troughput. Does anybody know about
any kind of software that can run on one of the unixmachines and that is 
able to connect to the printers and talk to them with any of the 3 
protocols ? I guess there must be other people who have the same needs.
