Summary: Choosing a laser printer



We have an Imagen 7200 that is ~6 months old but has been giving us
some problems lately.  It looks like we might get another printer, and
personally (since I'm the person who's maintaining the software) I hope
we get something at least software compatible at the nroff/troff level,
such that macro X looks the same on either printer.

Of course the easiest approach is to get another Imagen; however, since
it's been down a couple times in the last month, users are clamorring
for a more reliable machine.

My question to the net is do you have any suggestions for a heavy duty
printer?  I'm talking major output levels here, we don't think an HP/Apple
is up to the task.

Anyone else have a 7200?  How's it been holding up?  What kind of load
have you put on it (we sometimes run hundreds of pages a day; sometimes
I burn off that much).
