Any nominations for a good color laser printer under $800 in price for SOHO use?

(Other than HP, I had a HP2550 -- expensive piece of #$%$ when you add toner cartridges, imaging drum & finicky "fuser assembly" -- expensive paperweight.)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

We bought an Oki (model c5150n) several months ago that seems well-built and prints great color. It was $439.54 at Office Depot; after a $200 rebate, which took several weeks to receive. At that price, it would be cheaper to buy a new printer when it comes time to replace the toner cartridges. (Cartridges are around $120 each, you need four of them, and it is claimed that they will print around 5,000 copies.) The printer is also network-ready, if that's an issue for you.
