  Well, I've got a DeskWriter, and I couldn't be happier.  It's quiet,
reasonably fast, makes nice output (just don't get it wet...).  It's also
quite economical.  I saw one posting that claimed the price difference was
something like $35 versus about $100 for a laser (I guess that's cost/some
number of pages).  Regarding music printing, I don't think HP makes a scalable
version of Sonata or some such font, but you may be able to find one in a 4x
bitmap which can be scaled down...

  The original question included mention of something called GoScript that I
gather does PostScript -> QuickDraw conversion, or something similar.  anybody
know anything about it?
