Roy, here is my take, some might disagree, but it has served me well. My wife bought a Brother laser printer for less than $90. If you can live with black and white prints, this is a nice machine (I bought the color version for about $340), make sure the driver works for your OS if you want to share it on a network, no problem if it is hooked up to your machine. Networking printers is a beach based on XP, Vista, Win7. I have two perfectly good ink jet printers, free to anyone that wants them. My problem is that they dry up and you need two new cartridges every six months, at the cost of about $72, more than the original cost of the printer. You need to run an ink jet printer at least once a month to prevent this from happening, not always possible, since I switch locations and the printer might not be used for two months. None of those problems with a laser printer, just shake it. :)

Hello Listees, I'm in the market for a new printer. Any hands-on recommendations for an energy efficient, low cost per page, printer ? Cheers !
