Buying a laser printer - experiences with HP Laserjet 1160 or Kyocera FS-1020D?
I am after buying a laser printer (for doing leaflets and mailmerged letters, mainly). The two I am looking at currently are the Kyocera FS-1020D and HP LaserJet 1160. Out of these, the Kyocera has the better spec on paper, and some very good reviews (though a few reports of frequent paper jams).
Has anyone any experiences with these, or other recommendations?
Thanks,
Rob

According to the specs on the Dabs site, the Kyocera has Postscript 3 simulation whereas the HP does not.

I have a Kyocera FS-1200. It's an older printer, but works perfectly. Any printer with Postscript support should work.

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll go for the Kyocera (and then post an entry in the HCL!). The specs are so much better - duplex unit, very low printing costs, etc.
