Miller) Organization: Smith-Kettlewell Institute, S.F., CA. Lines: 19 We are going to buy an inexpensive laser printer, mainly to do fast manuscript printing for IBM PC's. I would like to get one that I could also hook to my Masscomp Unix system with a serial line (4800 baud) for use with troff. I wonder: (1) Which laser printers have inspired good public-domain troff filters? (2) Which can do at least the basic 4 fonts in at least a few sizes. I do not normally read this group (which, in part, accounts for the ignorance I have probably displayed in the above questions!): replies, please, by mail. -- Joel M Miller; Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Foundation 2232 Webster St; San Francisco CA 94115; 415/561-1703 UUCP: {ihnp4,qantel,dual}!ptsfa!ski!jmm The foregoing statements may change my opinions, but not those of the Institute!
