- Can anyone tell me exactly what a Wang LCS-15 laserprinter is? I believe
- it has a Ricoh engine, but other than that I have no idea.
-
- We used to use an Apple LaserWriter, and with the standard Canon 300dpi
- definition I could produce beautiful documents with TeX. It died, however,
- and we switched to the Wang.
-
- Everything works, but the fonts that come out of the TeX process look
- terrible. It appears to be mostly a problem with horizontal lines.
-
- The psroff and WordPerfect documents that use the internal fonts look
- fine, so it's not a problem with the printer. I could expend the energy
- to try to use the internal fonts, but I would much rather just have
- Metafont produce compatible fonts.
