What laser printers do you like?



I have a Brother HL-2700CN.  It's a networked color laser.  It is a  
bit above your price range but with rebates and discounts, I think it  
was in the $350-$400 range.  Their models without color will  
certainly fall in your range.  The HL-2700CN is advertised to work  
with Linux, Windows and MacOS.  I am having problems under Mac OS X  
but I haven't had the time to diagnose it.  I initially had problems  
printing PDFs from Windows XP but have since fixed that after a call  
to their tech support.  BTW - Unlike many vendors lately, their tech  
support was good.
