	What brand & model laser printer should we buy?

	We have several STs at work, serving as terminals to the VAXen/Cray via
UniTerm or AnsiGraf, as database managers, word processors, makers of
viewgraphs with Easy Draw, Publishing Partner and Degas Elite, time managers,
running AC/Fortran, using spreadsheets in VIP Elite, learning C, TeX, etc. 
We'd like to add a laser printer output capability to these applications. 
Right now, we settle for near-letter-quality and graphics mode outputs from
Epson dot matrix printers. 

	Recommendations are solicited.  I think we want a PostScript compatible
laser printer, since PP and (I think) Easy Draw have PostScript drivers. That
would leave out Atari's laser printer, even if it was available.  Email
directly to me, or to the net if you think your ideas might have wider appeal. 
Thanks.
