I use an HP 5MP LaserJet ... it works just fine ...
i.e.: the "dvips" program converts the output of TeX/LaTeX
into output which prints superbly.

To print plain ASCII text files I use a number of programs
(depending on the particular requirement) such as "mpage",
or "pstext", etc. to get PostScript code.

The HP 5MP seems to be selling (retail) for about $1,500.

Best regards,
