   Hello. I am considering a laser printer purchase in the not so distant 
   future, however, I do not know which ones will work agreeably with 
   the EmTeX package. I figure any PCL compatible printer that can "read"
   PCL would work, is there anything else I should consider?

If you can afford it, I would recommend a PostScript printer. There is
an excellent dvi to PS converter for free. It is as reliable
and well implemented as EmTeX and works with EmTeX without pain. It
knows how to use MetaFont (in case you don't generate or have 300dpi
fonts) and knows about EmTeX directory structure. There are two
advantages in using a PostScript printer. You can use the PostScript
fonts that are on your printer instead of standard TeX fonts to
generate stunning looking documents. You can also import PostScript
figures into your document. Many drawing and plotting programs
generate encapsulated PostScript and you can scale these figures
inside a LaTeX document. It is very easy to locate all the *.sty files
and other utilities that take care of PostScript files at TeX
distribution sites.
