Greetings.

   Is anyone familiar with the Fujitsu Desktop Laser Printer?

   I got a catalog (of a discount place) in the mail yesterday, and 
they are selling the Fujitsu Desktop lp for $899 (they say that list
is $2555, which I imagine is an inflated price).

   In the blurb they mention that it uses "LED head/electro-photography
printing."  Is this good?  Bad??

   Other questions that I have :

	- Is this a good printer?
	- Is $899 a good price for this?
	- How much are toner cartridges?
	- Can you run transparencies through this laser printer?
	- What is needed to upgrade the Ram?  Just chips?  A board?
	  Special chips?
	- If you have one, do you like it?  Pros?  Cons?

   Also, how does this printer compare to, say, the HP Laser Jet IIP?

   I just started reading this newsgroup, so I don't know if there has
been a review posted here on either the Futjitsu lp or the HP LJ IIP.
Could someone fill me in?

   Is there anything else I should know??


   Note: I don't get a chance to read this newsgroup very often, so I
would prefer if you could email me your responses/opinions/etc.  If
there is enough interest, I'll summarize and post the responses.  Please
mail to the (work) address listed below.

   Thank you very much.
