The two HP LaserJets I've had were both excellent - no problems at all, 
good results, easy to set up. I'd recommend getting the JetDirect card, 
because that lets the printer be its own print server and also provides 
native PostScript support. It also supports AppleTalk directly, if that 
matters.
