I am setting up a home office and one of the main groups I work with IT dept has told me that I need the following to beable to add on to the network:

The printer should be a business class HP laser printer with either
an internal or external HP Jetdirect print server.

I looked around on the internet some but I am still ignorant when it comes to such things. Does anyone have suggestions on which one I should buy-that wont cost an arm and a leg? Also do you know if any of the printer types above come in like a 4 in 1 (printer, copier, fax, scanner) and if any of them print color pages?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
