Looking for budget laser printer

Just came off 2 all-nighters in a row to finish the term, and got semi-viciously effed. ~Completed 20 page design project, ran to school to use up my print quota on 1 of 5 Windows printers: 4 of 5 jammed, 1 of 5 used by everyone else, mainly some dip**** who was doing 150 in a row). I allowed 1/2 hour from deadline to print 2 pages, ended up running around campus for next 25 min. Had to strike a deal with a TA to hand it in by e-mail.

So, in my impulsive rage (and a few other instances where one would have helped), I am now looking for a printer. Can anyone vouch for any particular model thats <$150 Laser, B&W with a built-in ethernet? I could just go for USB, but house has 3 systems and the cost could be 'shared' if we 'share' it. Not really in the mood to use an external printer hub with serial cable. Or do cheap and network ready not go in the same sentence?

Thank you.
 
I have the Brother HL-2070N hooked up to my wireless router. It's great!

A perfect cheap network laser printer.

Ditto. It's a fantastic little printer. Very easy to set up, the print quality is generally good, and the toner cartridges last forever.
 
Thanks all. Looks like a nice model. Others from Lexmark and HP are about the same price here (~$190). Might have to rethink the network ready thing though as a USB only one is half the price.
