	  Our company is looking at buying a large number of laserprinters
	in the next few months, and so we have been compiling stats on quite
	a few. However, a couple of the important questions that I don't really
	want to trust a salesman to answer is:

1)	How reliable is this machine?(How much maintenance/service is required?)

2)	How good is the Customer Support/Servicing?

3)	How close is the Postscript processing to a LaserWriter's?
	(We know our Postscript works on a LaserWriter)

	  So, if you happen to have one or more of the products listed, or
	even if you have a favorite plain-paper Postscript printer that isn't
	listed, could you forward any comments you have on it's service or
	reliability?

	  I'll post a summary if people are interested.

Printers:
=========
	Apple LaserWriter	(We own some, so no input is needed here:-)
	DataProducts LZR1260
	GCC Technologies BLP
	Qume CrystalPrinter
	Agfa P3400 PS
	LaserSmith
