Also OT, but somewhat related to the post:
I have been searching the web for months (OK, not all at one time!), and
have yet to come up with a convenient, one-stop site for technical help with
printers, particularly LaserWriters. I can pick up bits and pieces here and
there, but there's no really good clearinghouse (e.g., Low End Printer).
Does any lister have suggestions for good places to start when looking for
answers?
Thanks,
Rich
