I've got three of those lasers and one of the SCSI interfaced color 
inkjets.  The voice on the laser is a woman with a British accent.  
Since NeXT was really big into internationalization, I wonder what the 
voice was is you activated one of the other languages? 

The printers are really bulletproof.  They are SX engine based so toner 
is really inexpensive.  The only were parts seem to be the exit gear and 
in-feed roller, both which can be replaced for $10.  The quality of 
print seems to be almost as good as my 600dpi HP6P.
