- I second the E motion. Action is required. I down loaded the free version and am on the learning curve.
And unrelatedetly, but in the ball park - I bought 3 Laserjet 4 MV's for $100. They do post script and HPL. They can print 11x17! The ones I bought had ethernet cards in them and one had an Appletalk card. They go cheap because they are a little big and the engine is not the standard LJ4 engine. Keep an eye out for them. I sold 1 for $100 and use one on my lan. I keep the third one as a spare for parts. Oh yeh they are 16 ppm printers! They older you get the bigger you need to print the drawings. 11x17" makes a difference. David Masten wrote: > Thank you, John. > > Not sure what all the discussion is about.
