INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Plan Administrator
QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of (1) Item
27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes, December 31, 1994, and
(2) Item 27d - Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the Year Ended December
31, 1994, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The supplemental information by fund in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds.  The supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Such supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

QMS, INC. CASH OR DEFERRED RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan (the
"Plan") are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.  Expenses of the Plan
are paid by QMS, Inc. (the "Company").

Investments other than loans are stated at current quoted market value as
determined by the Plan's trustee.

Investments in loans are recorded at an amount equal to their remaining
principal balance.  Interest income related to these notes receivable is
reflected in the investment fund in which loan repayments are reinvested.

Gain or loss from sale of investments is computed on the identified fair value
of the investment as of the beginning of the year in which the investment is
sold.

2.   PLAN ADMINISTRATION

The general administration of the Plan is the responsibility of the
administrator appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Plan assets are held in trust funds which are managed by Merrill Lynch.

3.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information
purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
information.

The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 20,
1987.  A registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form S-8 became effective on March 15, 1987.

A summary of the major provisions of the Plan is as follows:

*  Any employee of the Company or its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries who has
completed one year of employment in which there is no less than one thousand
(1,000) hours of service may elect to become a member of the Plan on January 1
and July 1 in each plan year coincident with or next following the completion of
such service should his/her entry date be prior to September 30, 1989.
Employees whose entry dates are subsequent to September 30, 1989, must complete
five hundred (500) hours of service in a six-month period; such employees are
eligible to participate in the Plan on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1
in each plan year.

*  The provisions of the Plan allow each participant to make two types of
contributions--tax-deferred contributions and/or nondeductible contributions.

*  Plan participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 19% of annual salary to
the Plan.  Each employee may contribute a tax-deferred amount not to exceed 10%
of his/her annual salary for the plan year.  In addition, each employee may
contribute a non-tax deferred amount up to the aggregate of 9% of his/her salary
for the plan year.  Elective deferrals are subject to a government imposed limit
in any one taxable year.  For 1994, the limit was $9,240.  The Company matches
employee tax deferred contributions in varying percentages with a maximum of
3.5% of an employee's annual salary.  Participant benefits are fully vested with
respect to both employee contributions and the Company's matching contribution
upon enrollment.

*  During 1993, the Plan changed Trustees. As a result, the plan assets were
transferred from AmSouth to Merrill Lynch.  At December 31, 1994, the employee's
interest in the Plan is represented primarily by five funds as follows:

(1)  The Retirement Preservation Fund is to be invested in guaranteed investment
contracts and other instruments that are intended to produce income, with a
relatively low risk of loss of principal.

(2)  The Corporate Bond Fund is to be invested in long-term corporate bonds.

(3)  The Capital Fund is to be invested primarily in equity securities but at
any given time may be invested in corporate bonds or money market securities.

(4)  The Company Stock Fund is to be invested in Qualifying Employer Securities
(as defined in the Trust Agreement) which are expected to consist principally of
shares of common stock of the Company, for the purpose of allowing members to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.

(5)  The Basic Value Fund is to be invested primarily in equity securities.

*  Employees will be entitled to the full value of their accrued benefits upon
termination of employment, retirement due to disability or the attainment of age
55 or older, or death.  At the election of the member, payment is to be made in
either a single lump sum cash payment or in annual or more frequent installments
over a period not exceeding ten years.

*  Hardship distributions of part or all of that portion of a member's employee
deferred account consisting of Plan sponsor contributions (but not earnings
thereon) may be allowed by the Plan Administrator before the member's
termination of employment, retirement, disability or death.  Any withdrawal from
the Plan may subject the member to adverse income tax consequences.

QMS, Inc. reserves the right at any time to modify, amend or terminate the Plan
or the trust in whole or in part.  If the Plan is terminated in whole or in
part, the employees shall be fully vested.  Upon the Plan's termination, all of
its assets are to be used solely for the benefit of the members and their
beneficiaries.  The Plan is not insured so as to provide guaranteed benefits in
the event of termination of the Plan.

4.   CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In 1993, the Plan changed its method of accounting for benefits payable to
comply with the 1993 AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, "Audits of Employee
Benefit Plans." The new guidance requires that benefits payable to persons who
have withdrawn from participation in a defined contribution plan be disclosed in
the footnotes to the financial statements rather than be recorded as a liability
of the Plan.  Net assets available for benefits included benefits of $1,885,045
and $1,182,433 due to participants who have elected to receive a distribution
and persons who are no longer active participants in the Plan as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

5.   PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Party-in-interest investments held by the Plan included 196,879 and 170,572
shares of the Company's common stock at December 31, 1994 and 1993, with a fair
value of approximately $1,673,478 and $1,535,144, respectively.

6.   TAX STATUS

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on September 26, 1991, in
which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However,
the plan administrator and the plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, no provision for income
taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

7.   PLAN AMENDMENTS

There were several amendments to the Plan during 1993, the most significant of
which were as follows:

*  Effective January 1, 1994, participants may begin participating in the Plan
on the first day of the month following their completion of 500 hours of service
in a six consecutive month period.

*  Effective January 1, 1994, the matching formula permits the Board of
Directors to determine, at its discretion, the level of contribution to be made.
In the event the Board does not establish formula percentages prior to the
beginning of each Plan year, the Plan has a default formula which is identical
to the matching formula in the current Plan document.

*  Effective January 1, 1994, Section 6 of the Plan provides for Plan loans.
The Plan restricts loans to a $500 minimum and provides that the Plan
Administrator may uniformly and in a nondiscriminatory manner restrict the
number of outstanding loans per member.  Loans were made to participants during
1994 at interest rates ranging from 6% to 9% and maturing from January 17, 1995
to May 3, 2004.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Plan Administrator
QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the QMS, Inc. Cash or Deferred Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of (1) Item
27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes, December 31, 1994, and
(2) Item 27d - Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the Year Ended December
31, 1994, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The supplemental information by fund in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds.  The supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Such supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.
