I'll second that: I've got the Samsung ML-2510. I bought it for $79.
It's LIGHTNING fast (both to power up, and to spit out pages). Has USB
and parallel interfaces.

Best part for me though: Linux drivers ON THE DRIVER CD that actually
WORK! VERY well done on their part, they have a GUI install exe and
everything that works very well, over USB, under linux.

HIGHLY recommend it. TTYL
