Re: seeking new laser printer



I think the original poster specifically wanted a laser printer (I'm with him on that, and with Greg: inkjets are the perfect "razor-and-blades model" device, with a rock-bottom initial cost and expensive consumables, and the printed documents are very water-sensitive), and specifically a PostScript printer (which I narrowly define as one that will RIP a PostScript data stream internally, rather than expecting the host to RIP it in the driver, which is a non-negotiable requirement for my B&W machine).

Personally, I would not accept an inkjet as a gift. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing an inkjet does well is edible printing, and for that, you need to dedicate an inkjet for the purpose, and never run anything but edible ink in it. Which is why I farm my edible printing out to the local cake supply shop.
