Yep, I know that Virual Page thing done by Kronos. Actually, when Kronos died a german company called IM bought all that stuff for a bargain. Now, IM is pretty close to me and I know some guys from them… I don't like the idea of a "stupid" printer. Yes, it does seem cheap, but it isn't. The Kronos thing hasn't been cheap nor does the Next/Atari printer really offer a cheap solution. Also, it's better to have some intelligence in the printer… it does speedup things! Back to Laserjet and SCSI. Those who really want's fast data transfer to the Laserjet printer now, can buy a JetDirect Ethernet card from HP and a A2065 card from Commodore. The main question is software. I don't know the HP MIO card, but maybe someone here has enough knowlegde what actually is required for printing through the MIO Ethernet card (in general, if possible Amiga). — Wolf Faust, Am Dorfgarten 10, 6000 Frankfurt 50, Germany —
