[Pc_Support] Recommendations for low-end b&w laser printer?

[Derek Konigsberg]

First and foremost, I recommend getting something with PostScript support. 
Yes, even if you buy something used off eBay.  If the printer groks 
PostScript, then it is a no-brainer to get it to work on *any* OS.  (just 
need the PPD file handy)  And FYI, MacOS uses cups on the back-end.

(Then again, I'm the freak who snagged a Tektronix Phaser 550, and then 
upgraded to a CLP-550N.  Both color, both easily as cheap (when bought 
through non-traditional means) as good B&W units, but both also 
office-grade beasts that take some time to warm up...  I've been very 
happy with my Samsung CLP-550N, but its definitely not what you were 
looking for)
