I am looking at Postscript printers.  I want to spend under $2000.

I plan to use it with both Windows 3.0 in DOS, and also under Unix with X.
Fair amount of graphics I'll want to dump.  I am interested in a model
that:

Is true Postscript
Has at least 35 fonts
Uses the Canon SX engine
Has low maintenance costs
Has a decent paper feed (unlike the QMS 410)
Can be found at a good street price
Memory upgrades are reasonable price
Enough memory to print a full page of raster graphics
     (that would be 3.5 Meg, I believe?)

Experience, recommendations, etc are welcome.

Thank you, one and all.
