I am thinking about purchaseing a laser printer, and I have loads of
questions (and beleive it or not, I really don't think that they are
dumb 6-) this is a smilie face with a monocal!)



1.  How good is the HP deskjet, and why is it so cheap?

2.  My dealer says that it is better to have a dumb laser printer like
the Atari than on with buffers, etc.  because if it isn't dumb, it takes
a while to change the document to postcript (or something like
that)---any comments???

3.  What laser printer would YOU recommend?

4.  Is $900 a good price for a HP deskjet?
