    My school did receive that config. A 5000/25 with a DEClaser 1152. FWIW
The 1152 came with Postscript Level 2 (v 56.8 (?)), straight up ANSI text
mode, and I *think* PCL 4. It has three ports, one Mini-8 Serial for an
Apple LocalTalk network (PostScript over AppleTalk transport); Centronics 50
pin Parallel port; and an MMJ 6 Serial port. Very nice piece of printing
hardware as long as you don't have to open up. Keep it clean and well fed
and it'll last forever (like almost all lasers) :)  Wish I had me one of
these in place of my HP LJ IIIP.
