Re: What laser printer to buy?

Is there ethernet to connect the printer or only twinax and
ports in dumb terminals ?
I would also add, ALWAYS recommend only printers in
IBM's Knowledge Base docs for supported ascii printers.
There is no "it should work..."  and many off brand printers
and even certain model main brand printers will not reliably talk to
an iSeries. Avoid anything labelled as a "windows-only" printer.
And avoid all the "buy this computer & get a free printer cr*p".
For ethernet, I stick to "network" printers from HP (an "N" at the
end of the model number, like HP 4xxxN or 2xxxN.  (DN is duplex print
and network ready).
For IPDS printing I like Lexmark printers with Lexmark IPDS cards.
just my opinion.
