I've always had good luck with HP Laserjets. I currently have a 1000. It is smaller and lighter and cheaper than my old, circa 1989 Laserjet III, and frankly not really as good. The Laserjet III was IMHO better built: it always printed straight, it dealt well with cardstock and other very heavy papers. The tradeoff is price, size, and weight. The 1000 is infinitely better at standard B&W printing than any inkjet, though. Depending on your budget and your needs, you might want to look into a color laser printer these days. But I would definitely stick with HP. This seems to be one thing they do better than anyone else.
