Have to buy 3 printers for the Drs desktop, preferably with at least 2

Looked at Kyocera FS 1030D with extra tray costs $620.
Any suggestions re printers for cheaper price?

We have Samsung ML-2250 (PCL printers) x 9 for 12 months (most of
them). One in each consulting room + 2 at front desk. A couple have
had minor mechanical problems with feeding mechanism fixed under
warranty (did we get the bad batch?) but otherwise they seem pretty
good/fast/relaible. Very good reviews. Slightly noisy.
Extra paper tray was $150 I think. In a second purchase, we got some
end of line printers including extra paper tray for $400.
Our model is now obsolete. New model has PCL/postscript and network enabled.

Not sure how the new tray system works, cause ours has 50sheet
bypass feeder for pathology and other preprinted forms, trays for
plain and scripts. New printer doesn't seem to have a tray like ours.
I have no qualms buying more similar ones. At home I have a 13year
old HP laserjet still going strong (if a little on the slow side at
4ppm).

Review of the new low-end Samsung printer reveals they have
downgraded the paper handling ability.
Samsung model with similar paper handling functionality to ours is in
the next price bracket (rrp $699) but selling for way less

ML-3051N appears to be $250-$270 + $200 for extra tray. Includes
network interface and a status display - which would be a boon
because users at our place have trouble deciphering the flashing
red/green light on ours!
If my HP dies, I'll replace it with one of these.
