I'm looking for a low-cost PostScript printer to attach to a Sun serial
port.  I had seriously considered the TI Microlaser PS, but have heard
that it only has a parallel interface.  One store recommended the NEC
LC290.  I remember people having problems with the 890 and was wondering
what people know about the 290.  Does its serial port work with a Sun? 
Does it look more reliable (it uses the Canon engine)?

Thanks,
David
