We (at Thinking Machines Corporation) have been running TeX82 on the QMS
with the Texas A&M driver for about a month now.  I agree with
Jacobson's assessments of the printer (I think it is great), but I have
not had the paper-jam problem.  The only times I have ever jammed it
were by opening the thing up while it was printing.

One caution.  The toner denisty knob and associated machanism is
sensitive to movement along its axis of rotation; i.e., don't push or
pull it, just turn it!  It is a design bug.  Pushing it even slightly
can throw the toner distribution mechanism out of whack.  On ours, the
print kept getting lighter and lighter until it was hardly readable.
They came out to fix it and told me what had happened.
