    It is the "internally" that got me wondering:  Does anybody know of any
laser printers (color or black & white) that are "dumb" and depend on
external drivers to do any printing at all, like most of the inkjets

    I always considered laser printers fairly safe, insofar as all the newer
ones would handle at least PCL3 commands.
