Nice color inkjet printer, WITH Postscript. It comes with a fighting 2MB of memory, but add a 32 or 64MB SIMM and you're good to go; prints great from FreeBSD, WinXP, and Mac OS X. I've loved mine for two years, and recently acquired another NIB that I might, MIGHT be talked out of. Better yet, go find your own - should be less than $100. Recommended.

BTW, I was recently looking to see what else is out there, and the best I came up with is an HP 2280 at $450.
