I have standard recommendations. In your case, I would ask: do
you need a printer?
If it's convenient for you to go to a local print shop, it will
be cheaper to use their high quality printers. It looks like
there are five places like that in town. (I looked at your web
page.)
If you print in black/white more often than you need color, you could
still use a local print shop or get things mailed to you for those
occasions - photos and posters, especially, but basically any document.
In that case, get a monochrome laser printer. I recommend a
Brother with all of the following features:
- BRScript/3 (their PostScript emulator)
- ethernet jack
- duplex
Prices start at about $100.
Other people can direct you to reliable color laser printers.
