Yup, I've got one of these (HP 1200 laser) 6-8 months now and it works flawlessly. Prints from cold start in about 15 sec and while the 1200x1200 is really crisp the draft is good enough for most anything. If you need more memory (8M std.) you can get it though Kingston at 10% of what HP wants; I paid $25 or so with shipping for an additional 64M, although I don't think most people need it. The only strange/weird/?? thing about this printer is that there is _no_ on/off switch. You plug it in and there you are. Wile the list on this printer is $399, I paid about $350 for mine, but that was months ago and you may be able to do better now. Also, I've seen referbs from time to time in the $250-300 range.
