| It's an Okidata. We used to have one at my former employer which was a
| real tank, but it was also really old so I really can't make much of a
| statement as to the quality of more recent models.

The list price being $229.99 suggests it might be well-built.

I'm pretty sure that the resolution is 1200 x 600.

Until Wednesday (I think) Tiger Direct has cheap shipping for orders
over over $100.  Otherwise their shipping is quire expensive.

The specs on that page don't include PostScript.  But the title does.
I would check.  PCL6 is probably good enough anyway.
