Diconix, a subsidiary of Kodak, makes an ink-jet printer at 300 dpi
that handles Postscript and prints on both sides of the paper.  Our
main qualm is that this is a printer in the 20ppm price range, but as
far as we can tell they haven't done the work necessary to make it
interpret Postscript much faster than the Laserwriter.  (Well, maybe a
little faster: more memory and a more recent version of the Adobe
code, but we're looking for something with a fast 68020 or
equivalent.)  As I'm sure everyone on this newsgroup knows, the first
vendor to offer a genuine 20ppm or higher Postscript printer will make
a mint.  (Printers that have to be fed using DECnet don't count.)
