Comments
This printer is really fast, it holds 250 Sheets of paper and the printouts look nice (Although printouts from a Laserjet 1100 look a bit finer). There exists a windows config utility so you need to switch to windows if you wanna reconfig the printer. Toner is a bit expensive but the printer itself was very cheap. There exists a Postscript Level 2 Hardware Upgrade for this printer if you don't want to fiddle with ghostscript. RAM is upgradeable from initial 4MB to 36MB.
Consumables/Refills: Toner (6000pages = 1900 ATS)
