Hi everybody, I saw the reviews on laser color printers and the Dell 3100cn rating. On other sites, I see very good comments for the following printers:Dell 3100cnXerox Phaser 6120n (similar to the Konica Minolta 2450)oki c5800ldn (or oki 5300n or 5500n )Canon LBP-5000HP LaserJet 2605dtnLexmark C522nDoes anyone can share his experience with those printers? I konw that PCWorld is THE reference but on other reviews sites, there's so many differences and I want more than one good source...My needs are a long life printer (6-8 years), for printing - of course - B/W documents and near to magazine quality color photos without having to change the toner each year (that is why i don't want an ink jet!). Ideally, in a 300$ to 650$ range.Thanks, Schmu

I have previously owned 4 different Color Lasers: QMS (Minolta), Xerox, Savin(Ricoh) 11x17 and currently Okidata 5100-8.5x11 and 9300D-11x17. The Okidata printers are the most reliable and trouble-free priners I have owned. In addition, any problems that have arisen have been resolved without requiring an on-site tech. Great printers.
