Printer question -- searched, but not answered here

at least not that I could find.

Does anyone know of a site where I can enter features of a printer that I'm looking for where the results will include multiple makes/models?

I know that I can go to HP.com or Dell.com, etc. & use their "wizard" to search for one of their models that matches the search terms, but is there a good generic site that does this?

Alternately, what I'm looking to replace is my AIO and laser printers with one machine that does it all. 33.6 fax, laser printing & copying >17pp min, pc faxing capability, flatbed scanner and ADF, dual-tray option is preferable, but I can live without that feature if need be.

TIA!

You guys ROCK! Now to figure out when to buy

Misty's recommendation. All signs point to 8860N, release date was Winter '06. I'm thinking if I wait a few months, price will come down a bit more than I'm seeing today. Anyone have experience with pricing cycles for printers? I definitely want to purchase this year (depreciation ran out on my current workhorse & I can't obtain consumables locally anymore).
