We recently purchased an NEC SilentWriter at work; it seems to be great:
	-"Looks like" an Apple Laser to the Macintosh -- PostScript, same
	 fonts, seemingly 100% compatible
	-3 Meg RAM
	-Two paper trays
	-Will print on overhead transparency film
	-AppleTalk, RS-232, RS-422, and parallel (IBM printer style) ports
	-Emulates HP LaserJet and Diablo 630 (not sure about that number)
	-more modular construction than Apples -- easier (i.e. cheaper) to
	 overhaul
	-Built, in typical NEC printer fashion, like a tank -- very solid
	-1 year warranty (aside: why doesn't Apple have decent warranties?)
	
We've run over 1500 pages through it w/ no trouble.  We got it locally for
$3400.
