[plug] [ot] good network PostScript laser printer with lpd

[Craig Foster]

If you do a lot of colour, try the Tektronix Solid Ink Phasers. The
colours are vibrant, the ink blocks relatively inexpensive (Desktop
Applications quotes 7c per 17% colour coverage from memory) compared to
other colour lasers, but obviously more expensive than pure B&W.
They will also quite happily handle 30MB postscript (yeah like that's sooo
hard to find :)
There is full lpr, telnet, ftp support, and DHCP of course...

Mining companies love them, as they reproduce aerial photographs very
well, with almost no colour profile support needed. The change buys them a
cheap laser for the bosses desk, and last time I saw, the colour ink pack
included black at no extra cost (from old price lists anyway).

PS Mac, PC, and Unix lpr script comes on the CD.

Wouldn't recommend it, if I didn't believe in it.
