    All in one laser printer? I don't think those exist for less than $100. Heck, your typical all-in-one inkjet printer is $100.

    Color laser printers in general are $250+. And they are SLOW. 4 pages per minute slow. You might want to rethink your needs a bit.

    All-in-Ones tend to be horrible pains to set up and install properly. Laser printers are VERY expensive, I doubt you could find one for under $100. I've never heard of a laser PSC.

    I would head over to FatWallet and SlickDeals. There is from time to time a color laserjet in the $200 range. In that price range you usually get starter cartridges which contain much less toner than the regular one. You are looking at getting a new set toner cartridges fairly quickly and they are expensive sine you have to buy four. A B&W laser jet can be had for less than $50 if you are willing to do the rebate thing.

    Laser Jet for $50:

    Color for $229:
