Kodak Diconix Printer reactions?

I've been playing with a demo Diconix M150 Plus printer from Kodak, which
they're billing as the "other half" of the portable computing solution, to
complement the Mac Portable.  It's a tiny printer... only slightly wider
than a sheet of tractor-feed paper, and the depth of the printer is just over
half the length of the same sheet.  It's about 2 or 2.5 inches high. 
Definitely one of the cuter Mac peripherals to hit the scene in a while!

In a good move on Kodak's part, the printer comes bundled with Adobe Type
Manager.  The printout, when using Adobe type-1 PostScript fonts, is therefore
quite clean.  The spec sheet says the printer has 192x192 dot-per-inch print
resoluion, which places it between the ImageWriter II and the LQ.  The text
output looks pretty good.

What I'm looking for are comments from people who've used the printer in a
productive setting for a while.  Reliability, ink staying power, and other
issues would be appropriate.  Basically, I need other people's reactions
to the thing.

Tell me what you think, folks.  I'll summarize the findings.
