My local university surplus in Oklahoma has a P300 on sale for $20. It's in
decent but dusty condition, and one of the casters is borken. I'd buy it,
but I'm (still) short on cash, and I already have a big drum printer that
beats the P300 in cool factor. (It's not made by 'Data Products Corp.' but
instead by 'Data Printer Corp.').
They also have two NeXT laser printers, but they're priced at $50 each. I
think that's a little too high.

I could be wrong, but I think that's a P600. The 600 lpm version of the
P300 (otherwise identical). I broke my back (literally) on one of these.

Especially since you need the NeXT to act as a print server for them.
They are rather nice 400dpi PS laser printers otherwise. I guess in
theory one could adapt their proprietary serial interface to be used
with some other system.
