Hi to all...

My Lab is about to buy 4 new laser printers (to serve our network of
Suns and Macs).  We currently use a collection of Apple Laserwriter
Plus printers for this task, but they are *SLOW* (particularly for
printing graphics).  We had thought about buying 1 HP LaserJet SI, and
3 other LaserJet III's (all with 5 Mb RAM and the Postscript chips),
but we aren't sure that this is the best solution. We are looking for
printers which are RELIABLE, Postscript, and relatively fast (but
then, almost anything is fast compared to an old Laserwriter Plus!).
If anyone out there has any comments or experiences with any specific
printers in a similar situation, I would appreciate hearing them (by
e-mail please, I don't get to this group very often!).

Thanks for all responses! If there is sufficient interest, I'll post a
summary to the net.
