I still can't answer your question "exactly" but I can tell you that I have an
Okidata OKILASER 840 and its performance is excellent!

I have had no trouble in emulation or postscript modes (although I usually use
postscript)  One disadvantage, I use Windows and Word for Windows, and they
have released a new printer driver for the printer on their supplemental
printer driver's pack.  However, the driver does not take advantage of the
extra memory the printer has.  (Or, at least I don't think it does because it
does not give you the option to specify the amount of memory.)

I have never used an Hp, so I can't give comparisons.
