Suggestion: Multi Function mono Laser Printer

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I am looking to buy a monochrome laser multifunction printer
(print/copy/fax/scan) for my small-business, and I invite your suggestion.

Requirements: Under US$450 (~AUD $700). Up to 200 pages per week print,
about same for copy. 33 kb/sec fax speed. At least 600*600 print
resolution. Should have good copy quality. Flatbed scanner. Should require
little maintenance, should have reliable smooth paper transport (no
paper-jam). Cheaper new cartridges would be preferred.

I am favouring Lexmark X215 and Canon 5650, with HP 3030 and Samsung SCX
4216 coming lower down in my ranking. Only looked at the features on the
internet, haven't seen them in action to actually print/copy. Couldn't find
a Brother MFP with my given criteria.

Any suggestion would be most appreciated.
