I bet HP's recommendation is due to the fact that the 2600n is host-based only, ie no PS or PCL. I find that the term "the software sucks arse hard" when it comes to HP's host-based printers....
The next step up (the 2605n) is a proper PCL printer. The next step up from there I would go with is the Color LaserJet 3000. I would avoid the 3600 as it is YAHBP (Yet Another Host-Based Printer). Slightly newer than that is the CP3505, which does native PCL and emulated PS. It's slightly cheaper than the 3000 to boot.
