Didnt exactly fit in any forum IMO. (MODs feel free to move)

I am looking for a DOS compatible laser printer, just something that will last. Any ideas?

 
If you can find an IBM LaserPrinter 4019 (eBay, perhaps), get one. They're built like tanks, and with a memory upgrade, they'll be able to handle anything you throw at them from Windows too. My family had one for 10+ years.
 
Any older HP should do the trick; like a 4+ or something. Actually, shouldn't pretty much anything with a parallel port support DOS printing?
 
Most laser printers still support PCLIII and other specs.
Let's say you have a DOS version of Wordperfect 5.1 that you cannot live without. Try this. Use a HP LaserJet 3/4 driver (the newest you can find) and print to a HP LaserJet 1120. You will find that it will print, but will be limited by the older drivers (ie. resolution and options).
I have done this sort of thing very sucessfully with HP laser printers.

Good Luck,
David
