Need help finding an all-in-one color laser printer

I am looking for a good All-in-one Color Laser Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax with ethernet connection.

Under $1,000

If anyone can suggest (based on experience will be better).

An option might be Canon imageCLASS MF8170c All In One Laser Printer

Thanks

Do you care about ppm?

You might want to check out dell.com.

We have a color laser, not all in one for 449. That is cheap, but it is slow. 5ppm color.
There is a color that is 999, at 25 ppm color, that is fast.

All have ethernet, but no all in ones.

Thats an option too.

We are looking for a laser printer which at least has color copy capabilities. If not, I will buy a black and white all in one and laser color printer.

You could get the color laser for 449 and our all in one for like 89 and save yourself 400 dollars.

I got the 89 all in one last week. I was hesitant, but I swear it does a great job and is fast. I was shocked.

funny man, funny funny

Actually PC Mag said Lexmark has better durability than the Godly HP.

The changes are ink amount (MORE) and some quality changes to life and PPM>

No more than 5,000

Change of plans; we now need a superb color laser under $1,000, with inexpensive toner replacements, very reliable, network support, and Mac Compatible

Any clues?
