All have got to go.

Viewsonic PS790 "19-inch" CRT.  18" diagonal actually viewable.
     with cables. Excellent color fidelity. 

Epson Stylus Photo 1270 color inkjet: handles paper 11 inches wide.
     Capable of exhibition quality prints but must be used
     several times a week or the ink jets dry up.
HP laserjet 5MP - parallel port 6 ppm postscript printer.
     This one is as reliable as a stone ax.

SCSI scanner HP Scanjet 3C
    (If anybody wants this one I'll pry the SCSI card out of the
    computer.)

If anybody is interested, write me and we can dicker. I can deliver
to the next ALE Central meeting. CUPS has the drivers for both
printers so setup is trivial.

Otherwise I'm going to toss the scanner and give the other three
away to some needy charity/school.

For the record I have replaced the two printers with an HP 2605dn
and it seems to be working well, although getting the drivers downloaded
and working was more of a bitch than I thought it would be.
For $335 at Office Depot (after rebates) this seems to be a deal as
it prints double-sided and hooks to the network. At a listed 12 ppm
for text it is comparatively slow, but the color work is very good.
