My 5 years old samsung laser printer stopped working today.
I guess it is time to get another printer. Could you guys recommend me a personal laser printer? I would like to have it under $200 and I prefer a paper tray that can be placed inside the printer. Thanks.

I have samsung laser printer too, I have no complaint against it. Why do you want a different one?

Brother HL-2070N Network Monochrome Laser Printer is a very good laser printer. Network capable and cost effective on the toner also.

Check http://www.fatwallet.com for a 7% off coupon for buy.com which has the printer for $143 before coupon and free shipping.

Ditto to post #3. You could even get a Brother 2040N from Staples for $129.99 - $50.00 Rebate = $79.99 I have this unit. It is a refurb. Works Great. You will not get a laser network printer for anywhere near this price.

Sounds like Brother printer is worth trying.
I will check on those models above, 2040N and 2070N.

I have a few question for you two recommends brother printer.
I read something about paper curling problem on review site. Is it bothering you? How long have you used the printer?

Thanks a lot.

I have a MFC-2820 at home.

At work I have installed 2 - MFC-7220's 1 - MFC-7420 1 - HL-2040N and I vaguely remember a paper curling problem but I think it was more a paper quality problem. Nothing recently, knock wood.

It has been 2 years since we bought the first one. One printer had paper feed problems but Brother replaced it under warranty.

Any reason why you want to go laser? Resolution suffers on laser. WIth todays new printers (specifically HP) you also get lower cost per page. Also, some HP's are faster than most lasers out there without the crappy warm-up time.

You only advantage of laser is that there is no smearing of ink since it is burned on the paper. Good for flyers, bad for photos.

I really, really, really like my HP laser and other HP printers that I have used in the past. I highly recommend them and I will only be buying HP in the future.

I got a refurbished Brother HL-5250DN. Duplexes, prints 30PPM, replacement costs are WAY cheap, and it was $150 shipped from Staples.com. A new toner with 7000 pages worth of toner in it costs a mere $90. What's not to like?

I've had my Samsung ML-1610 for ages now, probably like 2 years. Got it refurbished for $70 Canadian and never looked back. Of course just to refill it costs $50, but who cares, it's a small price to pay every couple of years for something that prints, is fairly quiet and gave me not a single problem. Never had to replace the cartridge yet
