# Our problem is that we are using the printer with 2 different paper 
# forms, and this gives us a lot of trouble as the users is shifting 
# between these forms. 

AH HA
I knew this problem would at last come up elsewhere.
While PC Weak et al are reviewing all those great new
laser printers, they stay blissfully silent on the fact
that the all use only *one* kind of paper. Now if one
person runs his/her jobs on it, no problem. But, in
several of my client's offices, they want to run
a printer off a network spooler. How, praytell,
can they load:
		letterhead
		second page
		blank white
		and 
		envelopes
and have the spoller run it all. I have located only one
laser printer with options for such use. I believe it
is the Dataproducts 1200 series. It would cost >$5k to
purchase, yet if I can judge by the rep's failure to return
my calls, it must be vaporware.
BTW, PC mag reviewed outboard paper shufflers. They cost
1.5x the printers!

Anybody have any good ideas?
