  I have had a request by one of my co-workers for information regarding
available "high speed" printing for a sun 2 system.  She is doing software
development on one of her systems, and would like some form of high volume
printing performed.  Can/has anyone solved this situation?

Attached is her request as it came to me.

forward any comments to laura matthews (lmatthe@nswc-g) or
me (rhott@nswc-g).

thanks.
