Laser Printer Deal That I Found

[John Black]

Good recommendation, Randy. I've got an HL-1440. and it's the best 
printer I've ever had: fast, super output, 36MB RAM with 72-pin, as you 
say, a small footprint, USB, Mac-compatible out of the box. An even 
more capable one would probably do even better.
