+1 for HP laserjets.
I have an HP 4100N with duplexer. I've had it (minus the duplexer) since
2000. The JetDirect card means that I can hook it to the network and
don't have to fiddle with printer sharing. It's only used about 2% of the
toner in the first (and at this rate, only) cartridge. My grandchildren
will be using this thing :-)
