Man, what it feels like to have:
1. Dark, legible text
2. ACTUAL COLOUR
I got a Samsung C410W (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/printers/SL-C410W/XAA) for a reasonable price at MemEx
My only gripe so far is the paper tray sticks out, but whatever, now I can print all the things forever
Looks like a nice printer! Reminds me of my Samsung CLP-610ND. Though not quite as business oriented. I found an awesome deal on mine years and years and years ago. Samsung makes a good laser printer :)
I have a CLP-365W, way better than a color ink jet, never dries out ;)
Totally. Though I recently bought new carts for my printer... min size is 2000/2500 pages :o they are getting old too, so they are a bit expensive. :( cost more than a new printer. but the carts will probably outlive a consumer printer by a long shot. I am still using some of the carts the printer came with, 6-8+ years later.
You must have a separate scanner, then. At our house, the printer and scanner are one.
I keep wanting to get a colour laser printer and I keep dragging my feet.

I really don't trust combo units. I did end up having to buy a scanner. but for a long time I didn't need one.
I have a CLX-3185FN and love it! MFP Color Laser.
I was impressed by the colour and dpi, even on crappy paper
A good laser has excellent dpi and quality. :D even older ones. back in the day they sucked, but they had to compete with inkjet. i think they solidly beat inkjet for cost/function reasons. I never have to replace a full cart because it dried out. or buy a new printer because its cheaper to buy a printer than new color ink. lol. (well technically it would have been cheaper to buy a new printer than to get new carts for my printer, but i wouldn't have gotten near as nice of a printer... lan + full duplex + 20ppm, 2500 pages per cart on half carts, and 4000-5000 on full carts. last me a life time. Original 2000/2500 carts have lasted over 6-8 years. insane.
Reminds me, I bought a relatively cheap Brother DCP-1510. BW multi function laser here in the Philippines cause we have a @%&# load of paperwork to do. probably sell/give it to mila's family or friends when she moves. It's rather good for a mfp ;D but woe unto him/her that has to deal with it when one of the components dies, and takes the whole thing with it. >:(
