I have been using a OK OL400 for about one month now... it it great!
In Canada the toner costs $49.00 CDN ( about $42.00 US ).  The OL400 itself
cost under $1000.00 CDN ($ 850.00 US).  The OL400 emulates either the HP Series
II printer or the Okidata Laserline 6/12.  The memory upgrade board (houses 2
megs, comes with 1 meg) costs $ 499.00 CDN ($ 420.00 US).  I have been using
the OL400 with my 386 (9.5 megs RAM) and Windows 3.0 with ATM.  The results are
fantastic.
