I actually have one of the Okipage 4 series; they no longer make it. I
bought a return at MicroCenter a couple of years ago. It set up very
easily (faking PCL). Ghostscript gives nice output. It kind of looks like
the Okipage 10e. (the number is pages per minute; I didn't need a lot at
the time)

Given that I'm going to be working on a creative writing degree, I may get
a printer with a higher duty cycle though. In fact, the 10e, with a price
in the $360 range and a duty cycle of 15k pages/month, doesn't look like a
bad choice.
