It depends how much printing you need it for, so check the
manufacturer's specs. I've got a Kyocera FS-C5200DN, which is rated as a
workgroup printer good for 1000s of pages a month. It gets used
regularly for printing leaflets, brochures, etc in 100s at a time and
works out considerably cheaper than Staples or other local copy shops
for that sort of thing - below 2p per page ($0.03) for b&w, below 7p
($0.11) for colour according to the reviews.
Reasonably fast (except on stuff from the Mac's word processor program
for some reason), seems reliable but we've only had it about 8 months so
not long enough to see any long term problems.
