Yep...  I remembered after I responded to Kat's post that the Phaser is a
*really old* printer, as printers go, and was definitely NOT a consumer
grade product.  These suckers were quite expensive new, and I think the
cost per page when new (early 90's) was about US$1.  We were comparing
those at the time to an HP color laser for a customer, he HP won out due
to being far cheaper per page to print.  Tek has since sold the entire
line to Xerox, and as far as I can tell from their web site no longer
makes a single piece of consumer electronics.
