At least when it was slow to push fonts through AppleTalk.
What are consumables like on that machine? I wish I could have talked my boss into getting one instead of a new laser.
At $195 for each high cap cartridge, and there are four of them, it's roughly 12 cents per page for average office use.
Each cartridge is self-contained (a la the old LaserWriters and the HP model), so the cartridge costs are pretty much the only costs. I know the fuser and the intermediate belt are replaceable, but they aren't listed as consumables. They're probably service parts with unknown lifetimes, so it's difficult to factor them into the total cost per page equation.
I'm printing out some photos now (out of InDesign); this is a fine business use and general use printer, a superb inkjet replacement for general home use, but don't throw out your photo printer just yet. Which is fine.
I can tell you that I don't pay for supplies, repairs, or paper (I didn't pay for the printer, either), so I'm going to use the hell out of this thing. I love having the auto-duplex feature.
Again, very easy to set up and real Adobe Postscript 3, which for me is a requirement no matter what the print engine itself.
