[G4] Laser Printers?

[sr ferenczy]

i have been running a Lexmark Optra R+ for about 8 years so far. it 
only has about 15,000 prints on it (just emptied the toner for the 
first time) but it has been really good so far. its a beast, and 
cranky, but always spools up and prints its 1200x1200 lasers in short 
order. hooked up via e-net to a wireless LAN, no problems.

I have heard rumors that Brother may be stopping development of Mac 
drivers-that could spell future problems for their printers....

anywho,
