- Don't get you hopes too high. If your Tek color printer is a Phaser II/III,
- keep looking (or tell me how you get it to work). I (actually my department)
- owns a Phaser III. It's neat and prints are cheap as color goes, but it is
- not a toner based printer. The Phasers are 'wax stylus' printers.
- What are 'wax styli'? Crayons. The main difference is that crayons are a
- buck a box, 'wax styli' are $70 a box each for cyan, magenta and yellow, $140
- for black. I'm teaching my 6 year old to read PostScript so I can have the
- same printing capability at home that I have at work :-).
