I can highly recommend the HP Desk Jet.  Although it will take a few months for more software support, the printer is useable for text dumps and word processors that have user-configureable printer control codes.  Soft Logik will be supporting it in their new Publishing Partner Pro package (which I am getting--when they get around to shipping it).  HP says that it can be used with some Laser Jet compatible programs.
 
The print quality, on good tight paper, is exactly the same as a laser (and I'm quite picky about such things).  The speed of printing is about 1/2 to 1/4 of the speed of most lasers, depending on if you use draft or letter quality (draft saves ink and looks almost as good, except a bit lighter).
 
Any questions--leave me a not here or on echomail atari st.
