I have to totally agree with you.  If it is true, then one have to
spend FOUR DAYS to print his 200 page dissertation with a Deskwriter.
By the way, is it strictly required to keep the limitation of the
MAXIMUM of 50 pages/day for a Deskwriter? 
What will happen if more than, say, 100 pages are printed at once?
Will it cause serious mechanical or electrical problems, or the Deskwriter
will make dirty output, or what else?
As a grad student who is planning to write dissertation on a Mac, it
is very important question to be answered before buying a Deskwriter.
I appreciate any comments on this matter.

=============================Respose follows===========================

Well, I'm reviewing the printer for a magazine, and I'll sure be
beating the hell out of it, use wise, but I really think that this
page count is way low for even personal users.  I'm a writer, so maybe
I don't qualify as a "personal" user, but even in non-writing tasks, I
could easily print over 50 pages a day.

Since the DW is rated at something less than or equal to 1 page per 8
minutes, maybe as low as 1 per 3, at 1 per 8, 50 pages takes ~ 8 hrs,
at 1 per 3, ballpark 3 hours.  Does this mean I can use the DW no more
than 3 hours of the day?  Absurd!
