and all the associated costs are mitigated with generics and WAY cheaper over the long run than using inkjets.

This. My HP laserjet is ready to print by the time it connects to the wireless network at home. Using an inkjet printer today is like going back to the old colored pen plotters, you could but why? And are much more expensive cost per page than a laser.

+1 to get a laser. I've had a Dell laser printer for the last 8 years and love it.

nope. not any real good deals lately. your best bet is to find a printer trade-in deal locally.

I dont think they resell the trade-ins...I think they strip for parts so you are probably still ok.

If you can find one of these Tigglet, it would be a killer deal:

Thinking about picking up the Brother HL-5470DW while it's $50 off at Staples this week: http://www.staples.com/Brother-HL-5470dw-Laser-Printer/product_358136

Anyone have this model?

I've also heard good things about the OKI B431dn and Samsung monochrome lasers, though they seem to be a bit more expensive and I'm not sure that it'd be worthwhile for a home office printer.

There's a big sale on Buy.com for a Ricoh multifuction laser. Originally $300 down to $90.

Glad to help. The free shipping and likely no tax for you in VA is a nice bonus. NY'ers have topay tax on this... If I didn't already have a laser printer I'd totally get this as well.
