These days I like the business class inkjets. Faster, and depending on model, sometimes cheaper per page than laserjets. I picked up a HP business class something or other with a built in network card, two trays, and a duplexer for ~$150 new. I've had it for over a year, haven't replaced a cartridge yet. Photo printing is a bit iffy, I've seen better inkets but the network + business grade internals made it a good buy. Oh, and linux support, can't beat it. Give CUPS the IP, and magic happens. Brian
