We are also planning to buy a laser printer for our VAX750 (4.2BSD) in the near future for both documentation and graphics and would like to fill both needs with one device. The CAE system is available with a variety of non laser interfaces such as for a Versatec. Does anyone know of any laser printer interfaces which would be plug compatible with a Versatec? I believe that Talaris will support an electrical interface but the software will be completely different. I understand there is a problem because most laser printers will not print over the page breaks. (We would also like to be able to run Cifplot etc.) I would also appreciate any general information about which printers people are happy with (also support software, fonts, etc.) We will be using the printer for medium quantities of lightweight documentation (no troff pros here) and for graphics. We are all new to this and any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
