I also am in the process of trying to select a laser printer to be used
on a MVAX, mainly to spool off files coming from a bunch of AT clones
on an ethernet network.  I have ruled out the Apple Laserwriter because
of its low paper capacity and it is very slooooowww at doing graphics
(maybe they all are).  How about the TI 2108 and 2115?  The specs on
them look good but I have been getting some bad reports about them, and
the last I heard from a TI distributor was that the 2115 had an
engineering hold on it because of poor print quality.  Any
recommendations and horror stories would be appreciated.
