[geeks] Nice Printer?

[Nate]

I have a Samsung ML-3051N at home that I bought two, maybe three years ago
from Newegg.  I wanted something with Postscript 1, 2, 3 (as well as PCL) and
print via LPR/LPD/AppleTalk/Bonjour, and it fit the bill nicely.  Last year I
decided to see if I cold find a memory upgrade for it cheap, and I actually
ended up buying a 256MB RAM upgrade for it for very little, new on ebay, from
a memory vendor there.

My only regret was not waiting a year or so for Samsung to come out with the
duplex model... it could save me some paper, though in my professional
experience duplex printers do have more of a tendency to jam/need repairs, so
maybe it isn't such a bad thing to have a single sided printer at home.
