What we have at work that I really like are
http://www.amazon.com/HP-CP3525N-Color-LaserJet-Printer/dp/B001FWG8DU
They seem to have been superseded, but run $500 or so on Amazon. Note: I
DON'T buy OEM toner. Here in the US, I'm buying - both for work, and I
just bought for home - from tonerprice.com. They compatible toner works
just fine, at a fraction the price. For example, my little 1018 b/w, it
was $80 for OEM cartridge; the compatible, including shipping, was < $35
or so.
