With the LaserJet 1100 getting old in the tooth, and the kids entering 2nd Grade, we decided a color printer would be best. But, of course, ink jets are expensive to operate and the ink runs out at inopportune moments. So I got a Dell 3100cn on sale for $350. Color laser with PostScript3. Network and USB capable. Works fine with CUPS, but you've got to tell it that the 3100cn is a Lexmark. (Google will tell you which model number.)
