OT: color laser printers

[FlabLoser]

<span class="postbody">So I'm sick of replacing my color ink jets no matter how much or how little I use the printer. It is especially crappy that the cartridges go empty (soaked up by internal sponge) after enough time of not being used.

I'm considering a color laser printer. Surely color toner cartridges don't just go bad while sitting idle.

What's a decent color laser printer to get without spending a ton of money. Can a decent one be had for $300-400? And for that money is it photo quality (or as good as a color inkjet)?</span>

Yes, the new HPs aren't all that impressive but you can pick up a refurb HP 2500 on the cheap side ($150-190). I've had my 2500L for about 4 years and it has been great. Very good print quality for both print and picture

Other than that, I have no advice for you.
