Hi Eric,
the HL-5250DN is Postscript as well? I cannot find any reference to this
model. Is this the one with the black/white case? 

The Xerox what Marc mentioned is quite a nice one too, but I cant get a
used one here and the new models are pricey.

I think Postscript printers are not that common recently. There were
more around in the past, though more expensive..

Thanks
