DEC's LPS40 laser printer has been on the market for a couple of
years, but it has been a DECNET-only device that works primarily with
VMS. Today Digital announced a TCP/IP version of the LPS40, and also
announced Ultrix software that uses the DECNET version of the protocols.
Here is the press release.
