Well, the two LaserWriters on our network are getting really bogged down so
I thought it would be a good time to look at getting a more capable
printer. I was wondering if anybody could steer me in the right
direction for a printer with these qualifications:

* Better performance (2-10x) than the LaserWriter, especially for large 
  bit-maps

* PostScript capability

* Multiple paper sizes including A3

* Ethernet (?)

The only one I've found so far is the Talaris 2090 PrintStation 
(20ppm, PS, A3, Ethernet, $20k)

Thanks for your help.
