I forgot to include the price with my first posting about this
printer. It is rather expensive, like around $29,000.

For those of you who missed the first posting, the printer in question
is the Compugraphics CG 400-PS. 18ppm, 400dpi, 2000 sheet tray, the new
Adobe "Atlas" controller, 20MB hard disk, 6MB internal memory, full
Postscript compatibility, 73 standard fonts, user-selectable software
interfaces, and 100,000 page per month rating. It has no moving parts
in the writing element, so it supposedly requires very limited maint.
It prints with a solid state LED array.

I was inquiring into what the "Net" thought of the stats on this
I was inquiring as to what the "Net" thought of this printer. Does
anyone know of a comparable printer, in price and features, that
we should also consider. We don't want to put in Decnet so the LPS 40
from Digital is out of the picture.
