I just saw an ad for this laser printer.  The price was only $2195.
Is this based on Canon's LBP-CX print engine?  The ad claimed PC
compatibility (through  Diablo ECS Emulation and a compatible
parallel interface built into LBP-8 A1).  The ad also claimed a
multiple font capability: 15 fonts per page (4 built-in fonts,
download fonts, plug-in font cartridge).

Does anyone know anything else?  Does the printer run PostScript (TM
Adobe Systems)?  This limitation of 15 fonts/page sounds suspicous
to me.
