Hello all, I need to find out somme more information about various printers.
First of all I've heard some good things about the NEC P6.  Three questions 
about it.  1) Does it have a color option? 2) What kind of speed and 
resolution does it have? 3) Finally how much does it cost?

Second, what is the best low-cost PostScript based personal laser printer?
I would like to have the following..

1. PostScript
2. At least 2 megs
3. 11 x 17 inch paper capability
4. Font cartridges
5. Downloadable fonts
6. "Personality" modules.  (Emulation of other printers. i.e. Epson/STAR)

What laser printers offer most if not all of these capabilities/features at
a fairly resonable price?
