When I worked at Scribe Systems (aka Unilogic), I heard from my co-workers
that Ultrascript had problems with Scribe output.  My experiences with
an impress 8/300 here leave me with little love of Imagen, but there has
to be *some* reason why they don't call it PostScript.  CMU has a public
Dataproducts LRZP-200xziFooBar 24ppm printer, and it seems to work with
everything.  I'd avoid the TI printers, at least the 2115 ln03-type
one.  The postscript seems okay, but the print quality and reliability are
low.
