I searched ebay for a printer known to work. So there's an elderly HP
laserjet sitting on the floor with a duplex attachment and lotsa RAM,
bought cheap 2nd hand.  

Toner's easy, parts are easy, the full maintenance manuals are available
on the net, it does postscript and HPGL so drivers are everywhere,
needing a forklift to move the thing is a minor problem!
