I had no idea there were color lasers that cheap.  Samsung marks most of 
their machines as Linux compatible, too!

I don't think anyone makes a printer slower than 20 ppm in B&W any more.

What kind of color printing are you going to be doing?  If it's for 
reports and such, a laser would be nice.  Last I looked, lasers didn't 
put out anything resembling photo quality images, but they're still 
great for the stuff they're great for.
