If you're going to a surplus auction from a university, any of the
older school hp lasrjet printers (4m+ 5m, etc. etc.) that do postscript
would be a good pick. heavy as all hell, and not good on power
(so you need to turn them off when you're not using it if you're
paying the power bill) but you can still get cartridge refills easy
for them. You may need to be a bit clever and take some oil of wintergreen
to the rubber pickup rollers if they're old and slick.
A postscript ethernet capable laserjet would work well.
your biggest risk there is you get one with a crappy cartridge or
drum, meaning you'd need to shell out another hundred bucks or so
to make it work, which can turn your $20 printer into $170 printer
pretty quick.
Do your homework and find somethign that speaks postscript.
