I'm getting ready to buy a PostScript laser printer soon, and purchase
price is more important than speed -- I'm going to use it at home,
and I suspect that it will seldom exceed 500 pages a month.  The
TI MicroLaser PS was being offered by Boffin for about $2100 recently,
and now TI is advertising a PS 17 with only 17 font families instead
of 35.

Does anyone have any comments about the microLaser PS printers?
Are they write-white or write-black machines?  I asked TI for a
print sample, but their standard sales hype package doesn't
contain a print sample, so I wasn't able to get one.  (This is a
screw-up in which TI is not alone).

Any comments about the cost and availability of consumables?
