Hi *, We have about twelve HP-4550DN series Laserprinters that needs to be replaced. I was just wondering if you guys would share any experiences with new HP's or any other brand in the sense of do or don't or must or must (absolutely) not as far as compatibility or operational issues are concerned. We're not very happy with the HP's because of the postscript emulator and the huge amount of easy breakable plastic it was constructed with and, they are sloooww. What I'm basically looking for is some good advice on a printer workhorse that works well (with LPRng/ifhp and the likes), has a robust construction (users get angry some of the times; this thing must be able to resist or better yet: scare them!), is fast and last but not least has a *real* postscript interpreter (*no* emulation). Oh yeah, socket-API or appsocket capable would be nice too.
Any advice/comments would be highly appreciated. TIA P.S. What do you think of those combi copiers/printers? -- Henk Roose - [EMAIL PROTECTED] CWI - Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science Amsterdam (NL) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
