It uses the Canon LBP-LX print engine, which has a duty cycle rated at
150,000 pages, or half that of the LaserWriter IIs but 50 percent more 
than the original LaserWriter. The printer uses $99 toner cartridges that 
print about 3,500 pages each.

I don't know about the SIMMs, but nonetheless I think I would buy one for 
personal use. Especially since it is networkable and Postscript.
