Kip,
Thanks for passing along the info on Canon's 60ppm printer. Given
the price difference you mentioned compared to IBM's 3160, I'd like
us to plan to do an in house comparison of the two printers if you
decide to go with Canon's product. Clearly one big difference is
the native PDLs supported. However, I don't know why an IPDS printer
should inherently cost 250% more than a Postscript printer.
Lynne & Rocklyn, it might be interesting for you folks to ping Jeff
or Phil about the price differences between the 3160 and several
competing 60ppm Postscript printers (competition is in the $20-25K range).
