David,

We're using a HP2500 color laser printer on our I/A DCS for some years
now. It's not on WP70's (we have AW51 E's and D's), but we have it
installed as networkprinter and configured on the I/A. So it's used both
from lab personel and control room guys. Works very well, cheap (+/-
500euro) and excellent laserquality. Cartridges can handle about 5000
pages. Works a hell of a lot beter than the HP1200/1600 stuff we had
before....

Rgds,

Dirk

Yeah well, the operators (you know them) want to be able to print=20
things out and make notes on it, and give it to the next shift, or to=20
"prove" that it was running right, or whatever.  I would just put=20
hypersnap on there and be done with it, but that's not the way that=20
they want it.  So I'm still looking for a good reliable color printer=20
that can be hooked to a WP70 (NT) workstation.

In regard to the last post about the system monitor message when CPs=20
go from FT to Single.  I have complained about this in the past in=20
user group meetings, perhaps I should have put more dots on it.  To=20
Sysmon, a line printer running out of paper has the same level of=20
urgency as a CP pair becoming unmarried (is that the same as=20
divorced?).   Never seemed right to me.

Regards,
David
