Howdy,

The Feb 2005 issue of MacWorld had a review of several monochrome laser
printers: see

<http://www.macworld.com/2005/01/reviews/monochromelasserprinters/index.php>

Hope that helps.

I'm still using my 1992 vintage 300dpi Personal Laserwriter 320 via the
Assante Appltalk Bridge. Kind of neat to be sitting in my dining room and
print in the family room via an Airport connection.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
