Bought it from Staples for around $200-$250, minus a $50 rebate. Read the reviews on Amazon and you'll see that most people like this machine. I think its worth getting a laser printer (even just a black and white) over an inkjet because of the cost per page as well as the quality of the printouts, and getting the Ethernet port. I can't understand why more routers don't have a built-in print server with a USB port--don't most people use laptops these days?

I'll second the ^ for this machine. I've had mine for almost two years and it has been terrific. In addition to some of the other features mentioned about this printer, replacement toner cartridges are very inexpensive compared to some other brands and are readily available, plus it has a pretty small footprint.
