Of printers and impactors

mdlbearThe Starport has, at long last, acquired a new laser printer (not an impact printer, as one might have concluded from the deliberately-misleading title of this post). It's a Samsung ML-2250; in spite of the blurb at Fry's it does not appear to have Postscript, but it does PCL-6 at 1200dpi, 22ppm, so I'm not complaining.
We'd had an HP LJ-4M for about a year and a half; I bought it from a friend for $100, and it eventually developed output-roller problems about the time it was looking like it was hungry for toner. I ordered a repair kit from fixyourownprinter.com, but never got around to doing the repair. I still might.
However, the Samsung is about three times the speed and twice the resolution, and I've never had much luck with HP products.
The "impactor" refererred to in the title is the one that hit Comet Tempel 1 last night. I stayed up late enough to see the first thumbnail images, then staggered off to bed -- I may be mostly over my cold, but I still seem to need more sleep than usual.
Off to the grill. Polish sausage and hot sausage. Yum.
