I have one of these very printers sitting under my desk. It is very cheap to run and produces far better quality output for text and graphics than my photo inkjet (also an HP - a Deskjet 5740). A little noisy, but It's amazing that even at a paltry 600dpi, these printers severely embarrass inkjets at 2400-4800. With that said, I use the inkjet for photo printing because the output from a laser printer is not very compatible with the shiny surface of photo paper (to say the least), it can't print borderless and the inkjet has far superior colour accuracy.

It's worth noting that the toner cartridges HP include with these models are so-called 'trial' cartridges with about a third the capacity of retail toners. They are pricey to replace but last for thousands of pages, making the cost per page much lower than anything else.

Anyone have any experiences to share concerning this printer? I've always wanted a color laser but they have been too expensive. I see this one on sale for about $300 now. Plus I'm concerned about the quality versus an ink jet model. TIA
