We use Talaris' packaging of the QMS 1200, specifically to run TeX and
MASS-11.  What Talaris has done is to provide a modified DEC print
symbiont which imbeds proper initialization code as part of the flag
page.  It works always -- each user always gets the printer in the
same default state.  The only problem is that you always have to print
a flag page.

The people at Talaris are Barry Ferris (V.P. Software, I think) and
Cal Burgart (Pres):

	San Diego, CA 92126

We also use the Able VMZ/LP DMF32-style DMA parallel interface.

Hope this is of use.
