Lexmark Optra E320 (black & white laser; PCL & PS[23] emulation) or similar should be around $200. I bought my Optra E310 in 199[98] for $250-300; has been working fine since w/ FreeBSD (& using enscript as input filter sometimes). ( Hmmm ... i just looked at Lexmark site which is missing above mentioned printer but there seems to be new replacements w/ lower prices. ) Then there are also HP laser printers in the same price range (i suppose). > It would be great if I could even find a -color- printer that > prints only black most of the time, so I could use the color > option when I need it, but that might be expecting too much. if you find a good, cheap, (auto)duplex laser color printer, let me know. - Parv --
