[RndTbl] Linux colour lazer printer

[millward]

I'm giving up on ink-jet printers. The
ink is just too expensive.  I was wondering
if anyone out there could advise me on
a good colour lazer printer to operate 
with Linux. I was thinking around $250.
Best Buy had one for $150, but I suspect
it might be a bit too cheap.
I know nothing of lazer printers except they
are reputed to be fast. Do they require 
expensive paper? Do the lazer diodes last
very long? Are any of them parrallel port?
Any advise would be most welcome.
