For black and white lasers, I still swear by the HP LaserJets, pre-P#### nomenclature models, such as the 2100, 2200, 2300, 4000, 4100, 8000 and 8100. The single digit models were legendary (our high schools used 4Ms and 5Ms forever).
For color, I like HP, Brother, Xerox, Minolta and Samsung. Check linuxprinting.org for compatibility with the printer before you buy any printer and expect Linux support first.

The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we’re all damaged." - Jean-Luc Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie, Star Trek: TNG episode "The Drumhead" - Alex Smith - Huntsville, Alabama metropolitan area USA On Fri, Jul 18, 2014 at 10:59 PM, David R.
