Does anybody know of a vendacard device for an Apple Laserwriter that
makes software think the printer is out of paper when a user's money
runs out instead of turning off the printer.  We are looking into getting
a vendacard attachment for our laserwriter, but do not like those that
turn off the printer as soon as the user's money runs out.  I don't know
if it is possible to make the printer think that it is out of paper, but
there must be something better to do than turning off the printer!
