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? +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | James Colyer | #define LIFE (?) | AMIGA! //// | Running his 1 Meg Amiga | |---------------------------------| //// | 1000 from a Lobby (!) | | ARPA: backstro@silver.bacs. | //// |---------------------------| | indiana.edu | //// | "There is no dark side on | | USSnail: 4755 N.
