We are looking for an inexpensive (i.e. $4 to 8K) laser printer to
connect to an IBM PC.  The printer will be used mainly for letter
quality output, to replace a daisy wheel printer we currently have.
(Eventually we hope to develop some sort of print server software so
we can use the printer across the network.)  We are also interested in
packages such as micro-TEX, micro-Scribe, if such a thing exists,
troff, etc., so the laser printer should be able to handle these (or
vica versa).

I hesitate to ask, given the recent controversy, but what printer
would people recommend, given the above requirements?  What text
formatting package (along the lines mentioned above) are people using
on micros?
