True. It can do an 1152x900 screendump (from a sun-3/50) in portrait
format in 5 minutes at 9600 baud. The basic formula is:
((sizeof(rasterfile)) * 2) / 960 = time in seconds
Landscape printing takes 55 minutes, but Sun is planning on fixing this.
Version 2.0 was able to do it in 5 minutes, so if you need to do landscape
printing you may elect to use version 2.0.
