Message-ID: <9104171649.AA25779@crayola.cs.UMD.EDU> Date: 17 Apr 91 03:07:28 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: Cognitive Science Lab. Princeton University. Lines: 34 Approved: laser-lovers@brillig.umd.edu Hi to all... Our Lab is getting ready to buy 4 new laser printers to replace our old Apple Laserwriter Plus collection. We've heard nice things about the HP LaserJet IIIsi (with extra RAM, and the PS chips), but we're unsure if it would be appropriate. We have a network of Suns and Macs, and we want the printers to be able to serve all of the above -- our Laserwriter Plus collection works for this, but they're *SLOW*. Anyway, we want RELIABILITY, Postscript, and decent speed (we'd probably not buy 4 printers of the LJIII-si speed, rather only 1 and 3 somewhat slower printers -- like perhaps regular LJ III printers). Does anyone out there have any comments? I'd appreciate any responses (by e-mail, please, I don't get over here very often! If there is sufficient interest, I'll post a summary to the net). Thanks in advance! --Doug Merrill Cognitive Science Lab, Princeton University doug@clarity.princeton.edu Standard Disclaimers Apply --------- Joke du jour: Those of us interested in Case-Based Reasoning should write in to PBS, asking for a new cooking show -- "CHEF does Beef 'n' Broccoli now", or "The Frugal CHEF -- AI for $10 per meal". ----------
