Summary: I am looking into getting one and would like users input


I am looking into getting a NEC LC890 Laserprinter for work and would
appreciate any candid comments anyone has on the unit.  It will be
attached to a Novell Network at a spooled printer to be available for
multiple users (and applications, from word processing to graphics).
Primary reasons for its consideration are dual sheet bin (for first and
second page letterhead), 3Meg of memory, both HP LaserJet+ emulation
and Postscript, various ports, 35 built in fonts.  (and only $3500).

Has anyone used one?  How well does it switch modes (can you go from 
HP+ to Postscript back to HP+ from software or do you have to throw
a hardware dip switch or something).  Does it have any 'quirks' that 
I should know ahead of time such as the paper bins needing to be 
babysat due to jamming/misfeeds?

Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
