The Sparcprinter is manufactured by Sun Microsystems, Inc. , and costs
~$2600 (before edu discounts, etc are taken into account).  I've no idea
what version of Postscript it supports, but I'd surmise that since it
was just introduced ~2 months ago it is a fairly recent version.  We
have one of these in our Columbia, MD office, and it is quite nice - and
at 12+ ppm is quick too..
