If you have a new Mac with USB or an older PCI mac with a USB PCI card
installed you can always use InfoWave's PowerPrint software and
parallel port adaptor to plug in a wide range of low cost PC laser
printers.

Some of the new Epson inkjets give very impressive quality output and
can be considered as alternatives to Lasers in quite a few situations -
but see the output on the kind of paper you'll be using before you buy.
