- I'm interested in finding out about how printers operate over the SCSI
- bus. I'm not talking about the use of SCSI for a printer's own use
- (i.e. to support a disk for font and image storage) but as the main
- interface to the printer. The only SCSI connected printer device's
- that I know anything about use SCSI to transfer rasters (framebuffers)
- from the RIP to the print engine. Is anyone aware of other uses of
- SCSI in printers? For example are there any PostScript printers out
- there that use SCSI as the main interface.
-
- Any help would be much appreciated.
