With VCF: PNW six months away I want to try and get something together to
make a presence. I am not aware of anyone demonstrating an entire fleet of
Apple machines in a configuration as advertised as "The Macintosh Office" at
any recent point in history so I thought I should dedicate a table or two to
that. A quick inventory tells me I can totally get multiple compact macs, a
Macintosh XL, an IBM XT and a netbooting Apple IIe going with a set of
common office programs and networked together with a server running
Appleshare so that people can play with the software and try a few games
over the network.
The key component however is I need to get a LaserWriter working and
networked as well so people who play with MacPaint for example can print
their art out. I have access to four or five printers, of which one will
come up reliably and make a presentable attempt of dispensing toner and not
leafing roller sludge everywhere however while I can find cassette trays for
holding paper I cannot find the two brown paper trays that attached to
either side of the printer.
I see quite a few on google that are also missing the trays. Would calling
them uncommon be correct or might someone have a set they would be willing
to part with?

I believe that the original/first Apple Laserwriter used the same trays,
and even the same toner cartridges as the rest of the CX Canon-based
printers, including HP LaserJet (first models), Cordata, Fedex, etc.
I think that you could even modify the trays from the Canon PC series
copiers to work, although NOT those toner cartridges, much as they
resembled the CX ones.

He's asking about the egress and ingest shelves. Ingest you can live without
if you have a paper carrier. Without the egress shelf, the paper falls on the
floor.
You can find the paper carriers pretty easily, but not the shelves.
I found a box of paper carriers a day or two ago, I'll look again for the shelves.

OK, sorry for my confusion.
I once made a hanging basket for that. It caught the paper, AND it put
the first page "on top"

I have a Canon PC copier with them. You'd have to come get them in
Berkeley, and take the whole copier. (probably working)
Likewise, I have laserjet IIP, but I do not want to even think about
shipping it. (printer: FREE; shipping
