May I humbly suggest that you look at the HP DesignJet 600?  Its features
include:

- Roll feed
- Cutter
- Plot queueing and nesting
- 600 dpi enhanced mode
- 0.2% accuracy
- HPGL/2, HPGL emulation, HP RTL raster language
- Postscript available with Freedom of Press software
- Novell, LAN Manager, and TCP/IP Ethernet connectivity available
- E-size list price ~$10,000, D-size list price ~$8,500.

This is a raster plotter that uses the same inkjet technology found in
DeskJet printers.  It uses plain paper and DeskJet ink cartriges.

Its major selling points are low price, high print quality, commonly
available supplies, excellent connectivity, and high speed when
compared to pen plotters.

For Ethernet and PostScript connectivity, you would also have to buy the
Freedom of Press software, and the appropriate JetDirect card.

Things you might not be happy with would be accuracy (0.2% vs. your desired
0.05%) and the PostScript solution which requires an external software
package.  Speed might also be an issue:  a 300 dpi plot takes 6 minutes,
while a 600 dpi plot takes 12 minutes.  (Of course, if speed is that big a
deal, you could always buy 4 or 5 DesignJets!)

Hope this helps...

DJ550C is the better choice if you want to print both black (black black)
and color on the same page (or document for that matter) without switching
ink cartridges. The newer 550c has both black and color available together.

The DJ500C was designed for occasional color output as far as I can see - 
you either get color always or black always. For my purposes, printing
black almost all the time with the need for occassional color charts or
graphs, I have no problems. With the DJ500C being cheaper than the 550C
(and still available), I would probably still go for it if price was
important.

I don't know the current retail prices, but I think the DJ 500C goes for
somewhat over $700.

I'm searching for a PPD file ( PostScript Printer Description) file
for enscript on a Unix system. Adobe has not received one from
QMS. I have sent mail to QMS asking if they have made one yet,
but have not received a response.

Having never modified a PPD file, I'm not sure what the correct
values should be, particularly for "Nickname" and "FreeVM". 
This is a 600 dpi printer, gray only and has extra memory.
lwstatus.ps shows total VM as 2444228, but I need a different value
for "FreeVM".

Any suggestions as a good base PPD file to use for modifications?

Please mail answers directly to me at hebey@ucsd.edu.  Thank you.

I have a DJ+ and a BJ10 and BJ330.
The most significant difference I see between the BJ and DeskJet
is the ink quality.

I have tried quite a few brands of paper and most of it works pretty
on the deskjet. Very few brands of paper work on the BJ, most of it bleeds
quite badly. When a paper works on the BJ it is a great machine, the graphics
are sharper, the gray scales are better, and the paper handling on the 
BJ330 with dual paper bins is really great, but the ink is still a problem.

If I had to choose I'd print on the DJ only because of the ink.

Until you get it fixed, you might want to try to avoid keeping
the cartridge in the printer. Take it out and keep it in a 
sealable plastic bag (like for sandwiches) when not in use.
Do remember to zip lock the bag.

I've used one - they arent bad, nice and quick...
About the only fault I can imagine you may (or may not) have is that the
fonts in them arent REAL adobe fonts, but (I think) the ones written by
err..Microsoft..  err  the same as the ones in the PhoenixPage emulation.
(anyone can correct the above names if they like)

In either case, the fonts you get wont even be noticably different unless you 
run a publishing company or something where EXACT fonts are required.

oh, and I've not run one on a Mac.

you'd have to be careful to do this only when sending text files.
otherwise, this would have the unfortunate side effect of corrupting any 
binary data you happen to be sending to the printer (e.g., raster images that 
happen to contain \012).

this would have the same problem, except there would be no way to send
binary data to the printer without corrupting it, since there wouldn't be 
a conditional way to turn CRMOD on or off.

Some of the people I support are interested in these printers, so I am

Have any of the PC rags reviewed these small printers?

The Canon BJ200 is spec'd as taking either 115v/60Hz or 230v/50Hz.  does 
anyone know if these are separate models, or is the supply switchable?

Is the IBM one of the others with a different nameplate?

Does the HP (I can't remember the model - it's the little one) emulate HP 
LaserJet?

I have heard that these printers suffer severe print degradation when using 
less than optimal quality paper - any comments?

My users are interested in the following qualities of these printers:

	portability - how do these printers compare in other respects to 
			portable 24-pin printers (eg Seikosha)

	low noise - how do these printers compare to the Panasonic quiet 24-

Any comments would be appeciated.

We are trying to figure out a solution where we can connect all of our

if after capturing a printer, will the printer still show up under the Mac

(or both)?  We are looking for a way to have print accounting, and if
there is a straight connection (bypasses CAP) then our accounting abilities
are shot.

Just curious.

We have an old Talaris1200 (LaserGrafix ?) printer that's connected
to a Talaris200 QUIC-GRIP Controller.

The system used to be connected to an DEC 2020 running TOPS
using some kind of TeX to QUIC filter to print on the printer.

We are now using DecSystem5500's and Dec2100's instead.
What I would like to do is to hook up the printer to one
of our 5500's and be able to print PostScript on it.

So if there is anyone that knows anything about a
PostScript to QUIC filter please let me now.

Thanks, Stefan

Hi,

I am trying to print from Paradox 3.5 on a IBM PS/2 on a C.Itoh 8512(?)
a.k.a. Apple Imagewriter II. Is there anybody who knows how to get
ASCII codes  from Paradox to this printer. More specifically, I have the
complete extended set in Paradox, but the codes > 128 are unknown and some
other are misinterpreted (MouseText). 

Any (simple) solution?

E-mail preferred (flaky news feed)

Regards,

Peter

  When i try to print a file through the parallel device (/dev/pp0
  on Sun3/80), my printer keep on always printing the first page 
  followed by a blank one.

  If i print the SAME file through the serial device every thing is
  OK except the slowness (19200 bauds).

  Does this problem comes from the printer, the parallel driver or
  from elsewhere ?

  Thank's for any help.
