Hi Maynard,

You do not mention a base price range and you mention it needs to be
network 
ready so I am thinking small business color laser. Have you looked at
Samsung 
color laser printers lately?

I have not looked at the detailed specifications on all these so I do
not know 
if any of them "speak" postscript. IIRC they all have Linux drivers
and they 
all "speak" some version of PCL. My company has installed a Samsung
CLP-300N 
for a local small business that needed a network ready color printer for 
Linux, OS X and Microsoft systems.

Caveat: I have not used these with eCS - OS/2.
