-
- YES. It is a very nice printer, with its 3 IO ports (serial, parallel,
- appletalk). Price is competitive. My LJ4 is connected to a Sun, Mac
- and.. Atari ST!
-
- >2) Any gotcha's, problems, etc?
-
- I have discovered recently that LJ4m PS level 2 includes setduplex
- operator. Unfortunately, changing its value (OK, it is not a duplex
- printer but such files work fine on all other printers: HP LJ 3Si or
- apple LW) *ERASES* the content of the page buffer, so you loose all
- your previously done work! this does not work like this with duplex
- printer like 3Si...
-
- >3) General comments ...
-
- I would like a language selection (PS, PCL, auto) on a per-IO port
- basis, not a general one. Auto detection does not work fine with
- TranScript: "(***) print flush" string is considered like PCL, not
- PS...
-
- All in all, a goog printer.
