I'm sure this question has been asked a few times already, so if anyone
has a summary could they please mail it to me ....

We are interested in looking at fairly heavy-duty and decent quality
Postscript laser printers. We already have a number of Laserwriters,
but would also like a printer for producing high-quality documents.

Postscript is a must, and the price can be anything from Laserwriter
price and up to considerably more.

The details I would like are:
(1) initial cost
(2) speed ratings (pages per minute)
(3) robustnes rating (pages per month)
(4) cost of cartridges/rate of cartridge replacement
(5) maintenance charges

If a good summary comes my way, or I accumulate one, I will repost it
to this group.

Thanks in advance, jas
