Well, while I've never owned any of these other printers.. I have Lexmark (was IBM and also makes for Dell) printers, but 25-30 ppm wasn't fast enough!
I bought a Xerox 4525 refurb printer on eBay for less than $500 delivered! BUT.. once you have it in place will blast out your edocs at 45 PAGES PER MINUTE .. has both Letter and Legal trays, ethernet or USB, Duplex and best of all each tray will hold a full ream of paper!
The toners you can find them on eBay for under $125 ... but the best thing is.. these toners are good for 25,000 copies!!! .. not 2,000 or 7,500 or even 10,000. So your cost per page is very cheap! This type of printers are the workhorses of printshops like Kinko's and many companies.
I just printed off a 110 page edocs legal set in under 5 minutes!
I stil have the Lexmark T522 so I can send two jobs to the printers at once (you know on those last days of the month!)
BEFORE you buy anything.. make sure it can handle PCL5 & 6 (printer control language) commands that most sw print drivers require.
You can even considering leasing one of the high speed copier/printers that include the toner and maint if you have 25 sets per month to print and not ever have to worry about being down for long.
Just my $02 worth!
