I disagree.
Most of the Kyocera laser printers speak PCL and PostScript (or rather
Kyocera's implementation of PostScript, a.k.a. KPDL). The FS-C5200dn
sitting next to me most certainly does, because I've catted LaTeX
"dvips" PostScript output to it via netcat. Mainly because CUPS was
playing silly gits.
Disadvantage is that it's USB/LAN only. No Centronics port, but it
speaks most of the major networking protocols (even stuff like Netware...)
An LJ3 or LJ4 is probably the best option, though -- those things are
built like tanks.
