Has anyone bought or used the new Texas Instruments OmniLaser 2115 or 2108
printers?  They are 300 dpi PostScript printers.
I'm told that the 2115 is 15 ppm with 2 bins and the 2108 is
8 ppm with 1 bin.  Both printers feature 2 Meg RAM, 512k ROM and come 
with Centronics, RS-232 serial, RS 422 and AppleTalk interfaces. 
There is emulation for Epson, HP LJ+, Diablo, HP-GL, etc. 
Fonts can be stored on line in cartridges or down-loaded, and it resizes 
on the fly.  Prices are about 8 k$ (US) and 6 k$ respectively.

I'm especially interested in the 2115 which uses the new "second genration"
Ricoh engine, alleged to be *very* durable.  It comes with 3 Meg or RAM.

If you have use or bought one of these beasts, please e-mail me you comments
and I'll summarize yo the net.
