I have been very pleased with Xerox N4525's. We have some really bad environments here in manufacturing and they are real work horses. Even in areas with large amounts of dirt (like our weld shop that is full of welding soot and our aluminum extrusion area that is full of graphite used in the extrusion process). I am extremely pleased with the printer, not quite so pleased with the driver. In a few areas, we have even used an HP4V/MV postscript driver on these printers to handle some special tray assignments because the Xerox driver gave us trouble. But as far as speed and durability, the N4525 has been absolutely outstanding. Very few service calls.

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.
