As far as I know, current postscript printers sit on a RS232 port. This is slowwwwwwwww. The ONLY reason that we are not going to postscript is because of the large amounts of time required to get a job printed, especially if it is a bitmap. We currently have an Imagen 8/300 which is about to die (just the other day we printed ~1500 pages in a 12 hour time period, far more than it was designed for) and we will have to buy another laser printer. If there were a postscript printer that set on the ethernet, it would probably be purchased just because there are a lot more products that produce postscript than there are that produce impress. So back to the original question, when are postscript printers that sit on the ethernet coming out? -- @__________@ W.
