Regarding the polarity of toner in the Symbolics LGP-1...

Symbolics did not change the LBP-10 print engine manufactured by Canon
in some non-standard way.  (I do not believe that they changed it at all.)
Witness that the supplies you buy from Symbolics are standard Canon supplies,
labelled for use in the LBP-10.  Imagen will sell you the same supplies (for
approximately the same prices, and about the same delivery delays.)

The Symbolics LGP is now 2 years old, and so might be described as "yesterday's
technology", but it is unfair to ascribe malicious intent to Symbolics
design of the printer.  They worked with the most advanced print engine
available at the time (as did Imagen).  We bought a Symbolics LGP-1 and
an Imagen Imprint-10 (both based on the Canon LBP-10 print engine), and
have happily used both for more than 2 years now.
