I have 3 OLD LjIII's and I got sick of nursing them.  They were all 
in need of toner cartridges and tlc ( error 50,, replace triacs in 
power supply? Anyone in Eastern PA or NJ want them come get them!!!)  
I just don't have the time for them anymore.

I bought a Samsung ML-2250 from Newegg and got it for $99 delivered ( 
after $50 rebate).  I love it.  My daughter uses it for reports and 
we save a lot on color injet ink.  

It's a bit noisy when getting warmed up but it is fast!!!

Not being native postscript is a drawback.. I had to mess with the 
eagle EPS file to get Ghostview to print a properly scaled printout.

But now that I have a "system"  it works very well.

see the board I did with it in the photos section under davelandnni

Just my 2 cents
