[comp.laser-printers] Is there a duplex-capable PostScript printer available?

I've more than once wished, when printing large documents, that we had a
PostScript printer that was capable of printing in duplex mode, i.e. on both
sides of a sheet of paper. Obviously it is possible to construct such a
machine, as there are laser photo-copiers that can produce duplex copies.
If anything, it should be easier to construct such a beast than to produce
a copier that can do this (no scanners, feeders or collaters needed).

Naturally, I can run the printer output through a copier to make it duplex,
but that wastes paper, toner, and my time and makes for inferior quality.
It's pretty much not an option for a 650 page document.
