I guess this should really be in "office technology" rather than travel technology, but still, I figure it would be okay to ask here:

So, I have an old printer in my office that I need to replace. our budget is low, and really, I think our usage is pretty low too.

Basically 2 machines/2 people printing to one printer. monthly cycle I estimate to be less than 1.000 prints/xeroxes.

We have an old Sharp multifunction. xerox/printer on usb to main pc. and mac using parallels to print to it

Ideally:

new printer/xerox with ethernet AND mac compatible.

I guess my biggest worries are besides the printer cost itself, the consumables expenses (toner, and all the other 2-3 things that the companies say must be replaced)

Any experiences? I have seen some HP models, but they seem expensive and consumables even more expensive.

I have been suggested a Kyocera that has network and seems mac compatible. However, the machine price is very high, the consumables are very cheap.

Other suggestions? anyone has experience with such? Brother? Samsung? Panasonic? Lexmark?

Any models? horror stories with malfunctioning?

Thanks for any input.
