And also Minolta MagiColor 2300W. It doesn't have Ethernet port but you can
easily add a wireless g print server, wired version is even cheaper. Have
you seen the output of the C3100? I have the C5100, I don't see anything
blocky, unless 3100 is substantially different.

The design of Xerox Phaser 6100 looks just the same as Samsung CLP-500N so
the print quality should be similar.

Okidata is fast because it's single pass. I have both Minolta 2300W and
Okidata 5100n, along with Epson R200. ;-)
