Serial?  Parallel?  USB? Haven't gotten around to buying myself a nice laser 
yet, but while ethernet may be nice, it would be one of the first features 
I'd be willing to sacrifice (since Sun's with parallel ports are cheap).  If 
I had a good printer, I'd probably use it a good bit, but I obviously manage 
to make do, so it isn't too high a priority.

Eww, whats the point of a color laser if it can't do nice continuous
tone printing?

What I really would love is a nice Iris large format printer.  But, I've never
seen a working one for sale, and considering the operating costs, it doesn't
look likely to happen.
