I would like to thank everyone for their response to my cheap monochrome laser printer post. I was all ready to purchase the Brother HL-5250DN as a result of my query and your responses when my little brother called. He said that both he and my big brother haven't yet bought Dad a Christmas present yet, and they want to go in together with me for a color laser printer. Before I was just shopping for a monochrome. That's all Dad said he wanted, but my brothers say he'll want color once he has it, which may be true. Could I have some recommendations please? Again color laser, not inkjet please, and around $250-300 if possible. Thanks again. David R. Boag, DDS
