- Well, if you pick up just about *any* recent PC/Unix magazine you'll
- find *lots* of info. The printer has 600dpi x 600dpi rez and 8ppm.
- Does HP PCL 5 and Postscript 2.0 Holds 250 sheets of paper and
- can be configured with an extra tray for 500 more (750 total). There's
- also an auto envelope option (read wadder ;-) The printer uses a
- new (read different) toner cartridge (~$150 each-OUCH!)
-
- It also can be configured with a wide array of network boards. The
- serial, parallel and network ports can be configured at the same
- time and thus several systems/networks can access the printer
- simultaneously. It's ~35 pounds light and smaller than the LJ3si.
- Comes standard with 2MB and can be configured up to 32MB. Has
- RISC processor. It's priced $200 cheaper than the current 3si
- and if I remember right, it's about $2199. The review in _PC Sources_
- sez that the mail order price should be around $1400. I found that
- a bit low, but we'll see. The parallel port is Bi-directional.
-
- Well the only thing left to say is that I don't work for HP, all
- this is from memory (aka, fuzzy logic ;-) and I don't and can't
- be held responsible for any misleading statement (read lies!) listed
- above. I am, however, in the process of purchasing one.
