[Discussion] Postscript Laser Printer?

I can report on 2 Postscript duplexing networking laser printers.

I have a Lexmark E260dn installed, and I have a lot of experience with a 
Brother HL-5250dn (I do taxes as a volunteer for the AARP Foundation). 
The 2 printers are very similar in function and operations.  Both have a 
browser based interface for setting up the printer and checking on the 
status.  Both are duplex capable and print about 25-30 pages a minute. 
Both have a toner cartridge that is separate from the drum unit.  Both 
can be used from eCS by running the PPD import function.  The Lexmark 
has a separate envelope feed that the Brother does not.  Amazon lists 
the Brother at $149.95 w/shipping.  You should also be able to find the 
Lexmark for under $200.  The Brother has a USB and RJ45 port, while the 
Lexmark also has the old parallel port as well.

One note:  I have not been able to duplex from eCS to either printer.
