If you buy the printer and a number of PC's you may wish to buy a serial 
electronic switch you all can share the laser printer.  If you do so I 
strongly suggest an electronic switch that plugs into the I/O port on the 
printer.  The switch should accept rj telephone jack type wire and 
connecters.  The PC end can also be RJ but you will need an RJ to DB 
converter to connect to your serial port on the computers.  These switches 
come in 4,6,8 12 port varities.  Only buy one that does not come with 
software ie....should be plug and play, as simple as possible.  I had a 
sharespoole 4 port and it worked great.  I aslo bought standard 50 foot 
cables with the switch beacuse there were less expensive than I could buy 
them local....they were rj on one end and db25 on the other so that no litle 
converter was necessary.  Good luck with you pkg.  Have you considered an 
overhead display device.  It would allow you to display to the class what 
appears on the screen of your computer.  You can get display devices that 
combine and overhead with the display disvice so that a seperate overhead 
display is not necessary.
