Is it really that much agony???
I've used one at work and it doesn't seem to be _that_ bad...     :) 

Actually, if you're willing to part with $700, you might as well pop an extra
$300 or so and get a real laser.  The PaintJet is slow (at least it really seems
that way when printing a lot of color charts), and I don't think the print
quality is nearly as good as you can get from a laser.

Of course, I've only used it for printing from Harvard Graphics (no real text
processing there), but those are my impressions.
