[HECnet] Which is THE dec printer?

I remember when we dragged an LP14 out of the computer room. Two people with shoulder straps, and we barely managed to lift it an inch off the floor while dragging it out. I really like the line printers, but they are not for home use... But they work fine on a PDP-11 as well. You just need an LP11 card in the machine. (Or LPV11 if you're a Qbus person.) I have an LP26, an LP27, two LXY21s, and a Genicom (forgot what model, but as I understand it it's still a current model) line printer here. Great stuff. I see no reason why these would "not be for home use". ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
