That's where I was confused.  Every Tektronix printer I've seen can do
that, but they've all been wax-transfer, rather than laser.  I didn't
think that they'd make lasers that couldn't dither.

Even so, such a printer would be more than adequate for text and
diagrams--in fact, for pretty much everything except for the Windows/Mac
definition of "desktop publishing" and the printing of photos.
