We are currently using HP II's and IID's
in-house (among other printers), but want 
to increase our Post Script capability.  
I have read the postings about the Data 
Products and HP cartridges; and have
had limited success with them ourselves.
I would like to go with something more
robust and consistent, good speed, and
that can operate in dual mode (standard
and PostScript), but in a price range
that is comparable with HP's.  Even the
HPII's get up there in price when you add
the cartridge and extra memory.

We like the Apple NTX's, but would like
to do better on price.  I am considering
QMS's but have no feedback on their less-
than-high-speed models.  Of course quality
has to be taken into account, too, and if 
it were the sole consideration, NTX's
would be a good choice, since we have some
of these that we have _really_ put through
their paces and they are holding up 
beautifully.

I'm sure this has been discussed before I
began reading this newsgroup, so excuse
the repeat.  Any suggestions you have would 
be appreciated, especially feedback on
QMS.
