I second the part about LaserWriter.  The only printers I accept in the 
house are Postscript because anything can talk to them. 
Me I have a HP 4L, Epson LQ5000 for the parallel interface printers
that speak basic ASCII as well as other protocals.  I may have
a MX80 as well.

For the serial interface printing camp a pair of LA100RO.  

Not all of my systems speak postscript, they all speak ASCII.
