Yesterday I noticed that the HP IIP laser printer price has dropped to
about $895 from new york city mail order businesses.  This is only
about $200 more than a deskwriter.  Is anyone using a IIP with their
macintosh?  How well does it work, and can you compare it to a
deskwriter? 

With the prices so close, a laser printer would seem to be preferable
to a deskwriter for many reasons (less c/page, no smearing, better
halftoning, etc).
