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).
