We have a wide assortment of HP Laserjets hanging off our Vax (4.3bsd,
not Ultrix).  We use Elan's "eroff" and DWB for most stuff, and also use
the lj's for plain old dumping of files.  

I currently have a Laserjet+ with 2 meg memory option sitting next to
me on a "spooler box", so that my (and my office neighbor's) Vectra
PC's com1 cable and the Vax port can both drive the device without
conflict.  (The spooler box does handshaking so that the device just
looks busy when the other computer is using it.)

>(BTW: we're turning about 6000 pages a month)

I'd suggest looking into the Laserjet 2000, which is the high-volume
one.  The literature says max 70,000 pages per month, so you should
have no problem!  See your local HP sales rep...
