Was that Imagen, by any chance? Anyway, I concur too. I have a mid-1990's HP6MP with 75,000 pages on its ticker (would be more but it was in storage for several years) and it still prints beautifully. The manual for it proudly talks about their BBS and how to set your comm sofware to 8-N-1; their internet site (FTP only) is mentioned (by IP address) almost as an afterthought.
