I'm considering buying a low cost non-PostScript color laser printer
like the OKI C5150n. I run OSX 10.3.4 and have a lot of PostScript
fonts and eps files on hand. Under Panther, should I expect rendering
difficulties when printing PS to the OKI? (I would expect that I would.)

Not sure on that specific OKI; however, I have both a non-PS OKI Color Laser myself (C5200n) and a PS OKI Color Laser (C5400n) and from what I have used/tested both work very well on PS files; however, the color is of course better on the PS C5400n printer.

I have also tested the new HP 3500n (same price point as the C5200n) non-PS printer and it rendered horribly compared to the OKI C5200n with dramatically off colors...

Hope that helps a little bit.
