We have 5 TI MicroLaser PS printers and the only gripe is that for
some things you need a lillte more ram than the standard 1.5 megs
(it also seems to lose ram over time - needing a reset to get it back).

Price performance is hard to beat, the 5 printers (total 30 pages a min)
cost us less than 1 12 page a min printer.
