Yes, the IIP is a laser printer.  You might wish to check out recent
issues of PC Resource, PC Computing, PC Week, and Computer Shopper.  All
have had articles about the new crop of Laser Printers form HP, Epson,
Toshiba, Cannon, Packard Bell, ....  Most of these printers are in the
$1000 range, produce 300 dpi graphics, but are a bit slower and rated
at a shorter life than the $2000+ machines.

The Feb 1990 PC Resource and Computer Shopper have very good aritcles.

I recently purchased an Epson EPL-6000 for $949, and my brother
is using a HP IIP on his Mac ($950).  Both machines perform very
well.  I don't like the paper handling of the IIP, but it does take
up less desk space than the Epson.
