Charles, I have done a bit of research on the ActionLaserII (which may or may not be the same unit as you are talking about)…a small bit. However, I can probably answer some of your questions, or make some reasonable educated guesses. Remember, however, that I am talking about the ActionLaserII, a current model… First of all, catch the article in the April PC World…the ActionLaserII is the editor's choice. It takes HP carts, has a postscript option (tho not yet available); it is relatively speedy, and was judged to have the best output. The memory on the new model can be boosted to 6 megs, using standard SIMMS (once you have the expansion card…:)). Overall, it looks like a pretty decent printer. Add in Auto-port switching if you have a second machine. Now…the reason why I go into this at length, even though we may be talking about two different printers, is that…the best street price I have seen on the ActionLaserII is only $619!! At this price, it is a much better deal than that the Oki 400, which can be had for as much as $50 cheaper. So…how much is Epson asking for the printer you are talking about? Is it, possibly, an ActionLaserII? Or, is it an older model? I would go for it if it were considerably cheaper…like, at least $200 cheaper than the best street price on the ActionLaserII. Let me know what the price is, and if the brochure offer is open to anyone. Jonathan – via Whap!
