I'm getting ready to buy a laser printer real soon, and while I want
PostScript, I don't necessarily want to pay for a lot of speed.
The TI Microlaser PS is available from Boffin Ltd. for around $2100;
now there is a TI Microlaser PS17 which is even cheaper, and only
has 17 font families, instead of the 35 in the Microlaser PS.

Does anyone have any experience with either of the TI Microlaser
printers?  Consumable costs and availability?  Quality of print?
(I asked TI if they could send me a print sample, and they said
they didn't send that out with sales literature -- which is a fault
with a number of printer makers, I've noticed).  Which 17 font
families are included with the PS17?  Does anyone have any really
cheap sources for either printer?
