Re: IPDS/AFP Printing

[Robert Hemstreet <rhemstreet@xxxxxxxx>]

We have been working with a 3130 for about two years and have had nothing but
trouble.  It is constantly needing to be serviced for jams and poor print
quality.  We are actually trying to find a replacement for it.  I'm not familiar
with the Infoprint 40, but I'm interested in hearing if others have had
experience with it.
