[comp.windows.ms] Buying a Laser Printer for Windows

gt4864b@prism.gatech.EDU (FRANCIS,ANTHONY GERALD) (06/05/91)

I am entering grad school in three months and I'd like to get a good laser
printer for use in my apartment. Unfortunately, I'm entering grad school
in three months and I can't afford a QMS-PS2200 like the school has now.

I have a TriStar 386/20 with 4 meg and two 110MB disk drives.

I'd like a printer that can handle fonts easily - I also do writing on the
side and some graphics as well. Is it true that smaller laser printers
have trouble with fonts? Will ATM or HP's Intellifonts overcome this?
Can I use a bubblejet?

I'm looking for something in the under $1000 range (or under $500 if
possible ...)

Please e-mail me and I will summarize replies.

 tow trucks are _always_ late on Monday ... No, we don't have the part."

Sounds like you want a HP DeskJet 500 to me - it comes with a Win 3.0 
driver that includes scalable fonts, as well as supporting ATM, Facelift,
etc..  Street prices are often below $500.

with obvious bias (I worked on the driver) -
