I've been using a Samsung ML-2571N for something like a couple of years now. It has a direct net connection, supports PostScript, directly supports both lpd and Bonjour (Mac) protocols, and cost something like $60 or $70 (US) at Fry's. Granted that was a sale price -- regular was probably around $100 -- but even $100 does not seem all that expensive. I don't see the ML-2571N on frys.com today -- the closest is the ML-2545 ($70, I think it uses the same engine but without network support and may not have PostScript). If I were choosing from today's Fry's list, I would probably pick the ML-2955ND ($130) which does duplexing. (They also have wireless models, but I would not trust wireless unless the printer and all its clients were inside a Faraday cage :) And no, I don't work for either Fry's or Samsung.
