Next week I have been volunteered to go to a friend;'s office and take their
HP laser printer off of their Commodore 64 (I'm not kidding) and put it on
their Altos, so that the y don't have to have all their word-processing output
going to a cheap dot-matrix printer.  Somebody there fgot this great idea--
let's use the laser printer on the high-volume wp systems, and let the
Commodore hacker read listings on a dot matrix.  Would you believe it has
taken them 18 months to reach this conclusion?!

Anyway, iI don't know what mdodel printer it is (he says it's an 'early' model,
implying pre-LaserJet, and that the y paid $2,000-$3,000 for it.  They might
have the manual somewhere...).

Does anyone have any hints or aknown strangeness I should watch out for?

Thanks!
