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?
