I purchased 3 Brother 1440 for my co workers @ $199.00 CAD each ($135.00 USD) and they all works great. I own the HP laserjet M4 & it also works great. And, Stay away from all inkjet because ink cartridge tend to dry up too quickly.
 
For photo printing I own a epson stylus photo 785epx, for everyting else I use my brother HL-1440. A better solution would be to get the wonderful canon i450. My gf has it and the print quality (especially photos) is awesome and it's VERY cheap to maintain. You can find the thing for less than $50 - it's an insanely good deal...

Other printers that I've used:

HP Inkjets- great print quality (for the most part) but the inks to get expensive.. I loved my old HP deskjet 810...
Epson all in ones (cx5200 is what I own) - good quality and it's nice to have the scanner too.. Only problem is that it (like many other epsons) clog like crazy.. I had to RMA one because it just would not print certain colors (clogged printheads)... I've heard that they're working on this problem... Photos look great on it but epson text tends to be a little fuzzy
Lexmark z52- why did I bother? Oh yeah, it cost $19.. Too bad the ink costs $60+

I have the same printer and it works well for what I bought it for- just printing pages and pages of plain text and a couple of graphics once in a while.
 
I had an Epson Stylus 640 (I think) that I bought about 4 or 5 years ago with my Compaq k6-2 380.
Just got my new Epson C84 in the mail a couple of days ago. Basically got it for free with coupons and various rebates. Haven't printed any photos yet. Hopefully it will do a halfway decent job on prints from my Canon S45 that came in the mail today.
 
I got the worst one here: Lexmark Z53. I hate it. Drivers suck, it's loud as hell and the color pictures look like sh!t. Got the piece of sh!t for $50 from Best Rape.
 
Mita DP-570 Laser. It has an identity crisis and allows windows to think it's an HP LaserJet 4Si.
 
epson 820 and i'm SO throwing that stupid thing out of the window. i use nothing but genuine cartridges and after 30 cleaning attempts it still printed text with lines running through it.
