Brother offers "BR-Script" in its "network" laser printers and multi- 
function lasers.

The entry level lasers have USB drivers for MacOS and the "usual  
suspect" OSes from Renton, WA.

Fixed RAM on those. Usually 32 MB.

The network lasers still offer USB, but PostScript Level 3  
compatibility is added using Brother's own "BR-Script" emulator.

Socket for added RAM, too. Usually a built-in 32 MB and a provision  
for 512 MB added RAM, for a total of 544 MB. The RAM stick is a  
standard PC100 SO-DIMM. Hand-me-downs from most PowerBook G3s work  
very nicely.

I usually stick a 64 MB stick in there, for a total capacity of 96 MB.

BTW, the duplexing function works very well on Brothers. I think I've  
had only three duplexer errors in one toner cassette (about 3,200  
impressions).

Merit Line has clone toners for the network models ... the so-called  
TN-350/TN-550 models ... for $19.95.

Regular toners (TN-350) is good for at least 3,000 impressions (I get  
about 3,200). Extended life toners (TN-550) get about 5,000 impressions.
