Not really. You can always google on a model you're interested in: e.g.- Samsung (model no. here) laser printer review -. Even though they are shizzle on the inkjet side, it's hard to beat Lexmark lasers for print quality and decent per-page costs. But if you want really low long-term per/page costs and aren't too worried about having the absolute highest print quality (but still plenty good) check out Kyocera/Mita 'Ecosys' laser printers - hard to find Kyocera at much of a discount though. Kyocera costs more up front, but pays for itself down the road. The toner actually polishes the drum as it's used...
. And you can go to the magazine sites like http://www.pcmag.com and http://www.pcworld.com. PCMag has an annual printer issue and does briefs on lots of the new ones as they come out in the First Looks section. PC World also tests a lot of printers. But both of their review schemes are pretty shallow.
.bh.

It's Sunday, have some :wine: !

I got a Samsung ML-1740 at Fry's for $100 after rebate, pretty good deal I think. I refused their $20 USB cable so I'll have to find one cheap online before I can actually use it tho ;)

i used to read about a lot of printers over at computers.com. i'd start my research/browsing there and then go to specific sites, but computers.com is really all i read for printers
