Best Multifunction Laser Color Printer?

[thesurge]

I'm looking to purchase a Multifunction Laser(jet) Color Printer for office use but multiple reviews seem very hard to find. Anyone have any recommendations or comments?

How much quality do you want from this multifunctional printer?

The added feature and quality in different modelled HP and Lexmark printers for example are quite substantial.

Do you have a small budget?

Basically what do you want from your multifunctional printer.

A high ppm (Page Per minute) speed.?
High DPI print resolution?
Amount of memory needed (depends on the amount of users using the printer)?
If it is network ready, or would you run off of a host workstation, or would it be stand alone?

I personally recommend Lexmark, i have worked with quite a few HP's and Lexmarks.

The Minolta 2430DL. It's a steal now at costco for $349, which usually goes for $500.

When you say multifunctional you do mean an all in one Printer, Scanner, FAX, Photo Copier. Right?

I doubt there is one with color and laser in one of those devices.

thanks for responding.

printQuality= Good but not necessarily amazing
Budget= Under $1000
Speed= Good speed is necessary (valued more than DPI)
High DPI= Again, good but not amazing
Memory= I think anything around 32 MB would be fine.

Multifunctional= At least a scanner or fax, or both if possible [copier is a necessity] (I'd say the scanning part is more important, and I'll just purchase a seperate fax machine).

Generally, I need a very reliable printer that doesn't have any common major problems.

any model names?
