Workhorse color laser with low-cost toner?

[engwar]

Any brands/models anyone recommends?

Don't need all-in-one or wireless. But won't rule them out either.

I have a Dell 1320cn, its networked, but not all in one. It cost me £100 plus VAT off Amazon, well over a year ago. It is a big, heavy machine that appears solidly made, and so far has been absolutely reliable, with good print quality. As with most colour lasers it is not designed as a photo printer, however colour prints from photos are not bad. It is reviewed here by PC Pro magazine http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/printers/353707/dell-1320cn

Although it has been around for some time this model is still available. Drum life is 24,000 pages which means that in home use it will last many years. If you can put up with the large black box it is one of the best colour laser bargains around, at least in the UK. I do not know for sure, but I think it is actually made by Samsung.
