The laser printer that Interleaf currently OEMs is an Imagen 300 or 308.
The printer connects to a workstation either via serial or parallel,
or by Ethernet (for the 300).  Here at UPenn there is one installation
with six Apollo DN3xx workstations and a DSP90 file server, with the
laser printer connected to the server via a 9600 baud serial line.
I've also seen the parallel configuration on Apollo via the file server,
and an Ethernet connection on Sun.

As I mentioned in a previous letter, Interleaf will soon (in a few months)
be supporting PostScript, so Apple LaserWriters, etc. could be used with
WPS.
