I belie e the little HP 1020 uses a host engine to print, even for PCL I
believe. I think its a dumb raster printer otherwise.

Yeah, I could deal with one of those if I could find a decent one for a good
print, and it was a little smaller.

The 1320 seems a good deal though. PCL 6 and you can get toner costs down to
about 1.5 cents per page.
