      I was (and still am) asking around about laser-printers.
      From what I remember, a Dataproducts Laser-printer which
      a rating of about 75K pages/mo, about 25 pages per minute,
      a few fonts (15-20; I don't remember which!), no hard disk,
      and I don't remember too much more details!  The price though
      was under $20K, about $18K.  This price made it out of range
      for me, but I liked the features anyway.
