I have a TI laser printer with the Postscript option, and it works well.
I have only had one paper jam, and the output is good.  It is real Postscript,
it takes everything I have thrown at it.

One word of warning: read the installation manual before you install the
toner, developer, etc.  I didn't, and I made a big mess.  It is not intuative,
but it is relatively easy if you read the directions.

I have seen another Postscript printer that was even cheaper than the TI
(NEC, I think).  It is amazing how cheap these thing are getting.
