- I've owned the Epson Action Laser II for about five (5) months and have
- nothing but praise for it! The print quality is great (both text and
- graphics), the speed quite nice, and the price EXCELLENT. I have NEVER
- had any kind of HP-compatibility problems, either. Printing envelopes,
- too, is a breeze.
-
- As for your price requirements, I believe ADDING the PostScript option
- (it's NOT native to the Action Laser II - or, at least, WASN'T when
- I got mine), would push the price OVER $1000 and probably even at
- mail-order discounts, though I'm not sure.
