Very cheap wireless duplexing colour laser

eBuyer has a special offer on the wireless version of the Ricoh duplexing colour laser I use - £79.99

The main cons I'm aware of are that there are no Linux drivers (believe me, I've looked) and that the toners are a little on the pricy side, though fairly easy to refill. It's also a fairly big beast and weighs a ton, but that's pretty much par for the course for colour lasers. The windows and mac drivers work well (except that the current mac one doesn't let you select monochrome printing unless I've missed something) and there's a free Ricoh iPad printer app available on line.

Worth a look if you're in the market for a network printer.

£80 for a colour laser printer? Yowsers. Truly we live in the future.

Duplexing, networked and wireless! But the consumables are VERY pricy if you don't shop around for refurbished cartridges.
