I've been using the NEC LC-890 for about a year now, and have had virtually
no complaints (a sheet of paper may have jammed in it once or twice, but out
of thousands of pages, so what?).

The 890 produces outstanding output.  We run it mostly in PostScript Batch
mode (output from WordPerfect & PageMaker), but have run it in HP LaserJet
mode, and occasionally in Diablo 630 mode.

My only minor complaint is that in Diable 630 (dump printer) mode, the print
begins at the left EDGE of the paper, and there is no way to make it offset.
We only use this mode for dumps, etc., but it is annoying because the printer
can't actually print within about 0.25" of the paper edges, so the first 
character on each line is lost.  Oh well, I guess that's what Epsons are for.

The 890 is fast.  It falls off of 8 pages/minute only if you do a lot of font
changes during a document, or have a lot of graphics.

Basically, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, and if we were in the market
for another printer, we'd buy another NEC LC-890.
