The only problem that I can think of might be that no Alps printers are
listed on the ghostscript compatibility list, available at:

Recommendation wise, I like HP a lot.  I've been using HP printers for
about 7 years and have never been anything less than totally happy with
them.  Epson printers also produce very good print quality, but I'm not
sure if the machines themselves are as good as HP or not.  Anybody out
there have one?
