It depends on what printer you're _really_ using :-). If you're using
original 2686A LaserJet printers, then nobody can make a convenient logo
for you; the original didn't support macros OR downloadable fonts, the only
two ways of getting custom bitmaps into the printer in software. Someone
might be able to make a cartridge for you. The 2686A is a tabletop printer.
 
The LaserJet Plus is also a 2686A, and if you have one of these, several
companies can do this for you.
 
If what you really have is a 2688A -- a 12 page/minute tabletop printer,
but the printer is connected to the tabletop, which contains part of its
electronics -- then we can do that for you. Similarly, if you have a 2680A
(fanfold, 45 pages/min), we can do logos for you.
 
If you're not sure what kind of printer you have, call me. If it's
connected via HPIB, then you have a 2688 or 2680. If it's serial, then
you've really got a LaserJet on your hands; I can help you determine
whether it's the Plus model or the original.
