I can't figure out how to reply via my mailer... so...

Dataproducts just came out with a PostScript version of their LZR-2600
which is based on a 26ppm Toshiba printer. The PostScript versions are:
The LZR-2660, limited to US Legal, and the LZR-2665, US Ledger/ISO,A3.

I will be getting one for evaluation this month.

The only thing I know about it is that the PostScript(tm) engine can not
keep up with the printer. As to how slow I do not know.

The UK contact on a Dataproducts list is;
	Egham,  GPO: 44-784-884777
