Thanks for the input, Marc. I have begun looking and there are a couple of Konica-Minolta printers that look pretty good. I believe the model #' s are 2340 and 5380 (?). My biggest question now is, can these printers print clear to the edge of the paper?
Everything I have read about the HP color lasers is that the toners that come with the printer are only half full, and when they do need to be replaced, it is cheaper to buy a whole new printer. I have always liked HP printers and have several, but cost of refills has to figure into my final choice.

It also depends on the tonner cart you use. The OEM tonner carts seem to last longer but are most expensive. The non-OEM tonner carts are basically recycled carts that get used and rebuilt over and over again and pretty soon over time they start loosing print quality. For non-photo printing both laserjet and inkjet paper can be used interchangably esspecialy hammermill, whiteshark are the best brands IMHO. Also Xerox, HP, Cannon are good paper products also. Any packets or reams marked Laserjet will do the job.
