Hello, netland.  A colleague of mine is starting a research project, and with
the grant he got he can afford a laser printer up to about $2500.  He was
looking through one of the recent issues of PC Magazine (the "we review
every printer in the universe" issue) and saw an ad from Logicsoft, a big
mail-order outfit, for the Canon LBP8A1 laser printer for $1985.  Does
anybody own (or know somebody who owns) this beast?  They claim 8 ppm, but is
that 8 *original* ppm?  Any idea what the engine's duty cycle or MBTF is?
The bottom line is, would it be a good buy for your average $2000-class
laser printer?

Any and all feedback (directly to me, please) will be acknowledged and
greatly appreciated.
