More answers re: Optra Printers. Art Wagner worked with me at LaserWorks when we were selling LaserMaster printers that did "generic postscript" replacement. At Comdex one year, LaserMaster was giving away T-Shirts that said "Just Say No to Postscript" and had a red circle with a diagonal red stripe with Postscript written across the center of the circle. It is something to think about the Postscript is a PROPRIETARY page description language that is now somewhat a friend to the open source community. LaserMaster was not an open source solution, but was in the business of providing an ALTERNATIVE to the expensive proprietary de-facto standard of that day.
