I'm considering a colour laser since my kid is getting into school age, and having reports and assignments in colour would be cool.

The only downside to a colour laser is the cost.. while the printer is $200, the cost to replace all the cartridges might be double that. They last thousands or tens of thousands of pages, and the cost per page is getting pretty close to an inkjet, but still the sticker shock of paying $400 just to get all new toners is tough to swallow.

I'm trying to find a colour laser MFD that isn't super expensive but isn't an HP.. I'm done with HP and their crappy drivers. There's some out there but I'm not sure the quality is worth the expense yet.
