I have to say, I've been pleased with my 2300dl. Works with Linux
drivers from linuxprinting.org. Sharp images, although I wouldn't use
it for photos. Upgradeable memory. A real nice web based interface
that provides toner levels, print counts, configuration.
When I got it, it was around $700, I've seen them for sale for $500 on
pricewatch and $400 on ebay. I suspect shipping will be costly though,
it's not a light weight. The toner cartridges can be had at Costco for
$130 each for the high capacity cartridges, and you do want the high
capacity ones. 4500 pages verses 1500 for the $100 standard capacity.
