Low-cost PS lasers (Score 2)

There's a number of fairly inexpensive Postscript Laser printers around. If you're happy with black and white, don't care that the print quality isn't *quite* as high as a LaserJet, do care about the environment, and/or want to print lots of stuff fast, then look at the Kyocera range -- and before you buy anyone else's, work out how much extra it'll cost you in consumables over its life. The FS-3750 is blisteringly fast and will run for 400K pages on nothing but a few toner refills, at a small fraction of the cost per page of any other make. KPDL2 is a Postscript-clone rather than Adobe, but I've not had any problems. FS-1750 is the same with a cheaper, slower processor. The FS-800 isn't quite so fast or so cheap to run, but is a lot cheaper to buy and shares the permanent-everything technology and KPDL2. Any of these are great for anyone who wants to "use the source". If you don't care about PS, the entry model does Laserjet emulation only and is still cheaper - again with the very low consumables cost. If you do care about PS, the cheapest PS printer I know of is a Lexmark - again I've no experince thereof. I wouldn't recommend an inkjet as an only printer to anyone who intends to be printing manuals and source listings - I'm sure the manufacturers sell the printers at or below cost and make money hand over fist on the ink. Of course, if you want colour...
