I apologize if this has been covered already. I just got my Sparc station
up and running and I'd like to put a laserprinter on it. Sun wants $6000
for the Sun Laserwriter!! They also say I can use an Apple Laserwriter if
I buy a $2000 conversion kit (how generous). As far as I can tell, the
kit contains a serial cable and a Postscript driver for troff. Not even
IBM and Apple overcharge this badly.
Do I really have to use Sun's printer or buy their conversion kit, or will
any Postscript printer do? I have a SparcStation 1+ running SunOS 4.1. I
intend to use the printer to print out C listings (via enscript),
Postscript graphics, and TeX/LaTeX documents. I also plan on making this
printer available to several other machines via a local Sun network.
Thanks for the help?
