- I have an OKI OL830 (8ppm, Postscript). It works very well, and
- if the OL400 is at all similar (and I believe it is VERY similar,
- at least the external appearance is the same) then it should be good.
- The reason they are cheap is, I believe, that it is not actually
- a laser printer, but rather a LED printer (it has an array of LED's,
- one for each dot across the page). This would be a worry, except that
- they offer a 5 year warranty on the LED print head.
-
- The print quality is excellent, better than my old HP laserjet (1986
- vintage).
