- Hi.
- I wonder if anyone knows of printers that satisfy (ideally all, but it's
- not a perfect world!) the following requirements:
-
- - 600 dpi
- - Postscript level 2
- - >=8 pages per minute (ppm) - 16 ppm preferred
- - expandable to lots of memory (32Mb?)
- - Ethernet and serial/Appletalk ports, with autoswitching (autosensing?
- whatever it's called these days - namely the ability to be plugged in to
- both a serial and Ethernet network and to decide on which port stuff is
- coming in and deal with it).
- - <= $10000.-
-
- If you know about such a device, can you give impressions on the
- reliability (indeed, availability!) of software that allows submission of
- print jobs from Ethernet and from Appletalk (Macs)? This printer
- would be used by both platforms.
-
- All information on printers that satisfy most of these requirements would
- be greatly appreciated - especially if sent by email! :-) I will post a
- summary of replies.
-
- Thank you very much in advance,
- Carlo.
