Wolf, I use a SCSI laser printer on my Amiga. It was introduced by CLtd a now defunct Amiga company. The printer and my scanner both connect to the SCSI host/adapter called KRONOS. It works just fine, but someday I imagine the PAL on the KRONOS will fry somehow (firmware instructions for printer) and I'll be buying a new non-SCSI printer. Of course the printer is really LED not laser. It is a GCC PLP-I which uses a RICOH 6000 engine. (General Computer Corp Personal Laser Printer I) The other interesting thing that came with the printer was something called Virtual Page. This printer is a brain-dead device, it depends on the computer to rasterize the entire image into ram before the marking engine begins to run. Once it prints it takes over the computer for a few seconds until the page is printed, but it prints fast, no waiting minutes for a bitmap graphic to print 8-1/2 x 11 inches. I had always hoped that someone else would continue with the virtual page concept. Maybe you'd find it interesting to fool around with a bit? Chris
