    Here are my requirements:

    Budget cap of $150...stretchable to $200 if it's really really good.

    B&W Laser.

    Network capable. Specifically must work with Airport Extreme-N.

    Web interface unimportant, but must have Bonjour support. Otherwise, a good web interface is a plus.

    I am looking for text quality - must be crisp, no graininess, and have no stray marks.

    Must be able to handle plain, legal, bond and envelopes with no curling.

    I posted a few up in the poll, but if anyone has any suggestions, they'd be welcome. Otherwise, please state why you picked the printer in the poll - I like to hear reasons. :)

    Also, ignore the 4th option up above. It's not really feasible.


    Thanks in advance.

    By this do you mean that it has to have built-in wireless capability, or is a wired connection to the router sufficient?

    Wired connection to the router is sufficient...but it needs to have an ethernet connector. I'm not buying another USB hub just for the router :p
