Need advice- Cheap, network laserprinter

grovertdog

For some reason I just can't find the same enthusiasm to research printers as I can with Macs and peripherals in general. So, I'd love to avail of the expertise in here.



Here is what I am looking for-



-Laser engine, low usage is likely

-MUST have ethernet port/ network connectivity

-MUST be OS/X ready out of the box- No generic CUPS solutions

-The cheaper the better

-good reliability, readily available consumables (toner/drum)

-As for bells, lights and whistles, fax would be nice, copying/scanning may be as well, but only with a "lid" in addition to a paper feeder, but neither of these features are primary



Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I can vouch for their Ricoh reviews. Ricoh makes a damn fine personal color laser.

Thanks for that- I'll check it out



My apologies- I forgot to specify that I only need B&W for my application.

They sell some B&W printers too. I bet if you emailed them, they could point you to the page or even recommend one for you. I've done business with them before, and they are tremendous. I will never buy a printer from anywhere else.

Found one that looks interesting and reasonable.

Ricoh consumables seem a little harder to find, but I don't think that is a worry.
