Look at the above printer.  It is 8 ppm and has all 35 fonts resident.  We
have a KX-P4450 at work and have been using it for about 12 months with no
problems.  I am really impressed with the quality.  The above printer goes for
about $2000.  I would also seriously consider an HP LJ III with their new
Adobe PS cartridge.  It is licensed by Adobe and is about $400.  You will spend
a little more in the long run (about $2200 for printer, memory and cartridge).
But you will be getting an HP LJ.
