I can't remember what the models number for the receive-only LA120 was.) I like my printers big. ;) There is in fact a receive-only LA120. There's one here at my place, though it belongs to someone else. I've forgotten the model suffix. I've forgotten it as well. Heh. The LA180 is one that I've always thought of as an independent device. It is considerably faster than the LA36 (180 CPS vs. 30 CPS) for starters...so I'd doubt it was derived from the LA36. But then why would it have been derived from the LA120, when the LA120 family already has a print-only version? And it tops out at 120CPS, and prints bidirectionally...the LA180 is unidirectional. The LA120 is also FAR "smarter", with runtime-configurable setup options, escape sequence processing for settings, etc. The LA180 does none of that.
