I recently bought an HP Laserjet 1020 from COMP USA for $129.
installation was easy and it works like a charm.  It is a monochrome
unit, and prints at 600 DPI.  The 1022 costs a few dollars more, but
prints at 1200 DPI.  I like the idea that the paper is lying down, like
it did with my old Deskjet 520.  At work, I have a Lexmark unit.  The
paper stands up, and is very difficult to lload, and sometimes jams as
it is coming through after printing.  I got tired of ink jets because I
do not print that often, but when I do, it's something important, and I
got tired of being informed that I had to change a hardly used cartridge
because it had dried out.  Laser cartridges are more expensive, but they
last a lot longer.  I have had this lexmark E-323 at work for almost 3
years, and I'm still on the same cartridge.
