LCD printers have been around for about 6 - 8 months now. There are two
currently available. There was a review of the both of them in Byte
magazine in the April or May issue. They were a little unflattering.
The main problems with them are threefold: They offer no cost avantages
over Laser Printers, they are based on the Ricoh engine and neither
support Postscript, which I consider a necessity if you are going to spend
this kind of money.
  Another burgeoning technology to be paying attention to is Bubble jet
technology. Canon has supposed made a real breakthrough, and will be
introducing new models later this year. We are talking 300+ dpi resolution
(possibly in color), for less than a thousand dollars.
