H-P Color LaserJet 5M: Inexpensive to buy; and inexpensive to feed. The
newer CLJ 4500's & 8500's are expensive to feed.
You can pick them up reconditioned at The Printer Works for under $2000
<http://www.theprinterworks.com>; and then pick up a pair of 32 MB P.D.
(Presence Detect) SIMMs at The Chip Merchant: You'll need as much RAM as
possible for large input queue and frame buffers.

Cheers!
