As far as color quality, there is a lot of raving > about the Epson Stylus 800 in photography newsgroups. I'll chime in. I got myself a HP 693C Inkjet. It's supposed to be available in a non-Windows version (I think model 691) but no one seems to stock it. It's popular, so it's heavily discounted, don't pay more than $350. It's nicely supported by ghostscript's cdjcolor and cdjmono drivers, and for the cost, is very likely the best quality printing you can get, this side of dye-sublimation. It's not as fast as your laser, but it's speedy enough at least for me, and the print quality, well, you'll have to look very closely at your black and white copies to tell the difference with your current printer.
