I have recently purchased a Brother multi-function monochrome
laser device for a little over =A3200.  It has Postscript emulation and a=

network interface. I haven't actually tried it as a printer on the
Iyonix as yet (I bought it primarily for its photocopying function, but
it will also act as a fax and scanner - not on the Iyo, though), but I
could give this a go if it would help you.

You would need one of the RISC OS implementations of an LPR driver in
order to use the network interface (I would, of course, recommend the
R-Comp network printer drivers, but there are other, cheaper, options.).
