Monochrome - 1200 x 1200 dpi - Parallel, Parallel - Fast Ethernet - Mac, SPARC - MPN: Q5961A
Strengths: Fast printing, network ready, heavy duty.
Weakness: Expensive, heavy.
It is very heavy, like 50lb or so and pretty expensive. But it is the best printer I ever used. If you are going to print a lot and want high-quality, go for it.

TopStrengths: Built-in network card, catridge price, heavy duty
Weakness: printer price
I have used it for 2 months. It is my first network ready laser printer. everything is just so great. Printing quality is pretty good and printing speed is fast. The catridge price is ~$100 for regular or ~$200 for high-yield. You can even find cheaper one in other places, like eBay. But the price of the printer itself is really expensive. However, if you are going to build up a small network printing, 2430tn is one of your best choice.

TopStrengths: Very fast print speed, high quality print out, server built in
Weakness: Pricey
I have used this printer for 1 week. It serve with amazing speed print. It provide a big 500 paper tray. Server makes a network print easier with network sharing. The wait time for a print probably about 5 seconds and it's ready. If you have a good business office and required a printer that can share, print very fast, a big paper tray, then, this is the printer that will fit your needs. I would highly recommend this printer as the top three laser printer that has ever produced.

TopStrengths: monthly duty cycle, price, ppm speed
Weakness: quality of prints
Prints text at almost 24ppm (in real life test), but sometime there's an occasional smudge here or there. Also guilty of leaving dirty roller marks, and a baked-on charcoal look to solid type. But if top-notch quality is not your biggest concern - go with it

Grayscale graphics looked nicely balanced, and letters were well-formed, but soft, smeary blacks marred text output.

HP 2430tn LaserJet Printer
Strengths: Multiple paper trays. High yield cartridges. Network capability. Fast printing
Weakness: Slow in printing color graphics.
This is the most expensive printer I have purchased and used. The printer was very impressive in text output speed and overall print quality. The paper trays can hold a lot of papers for a long time use. The printer is network capable, but I haven't tried yet. So far this printer does amazing printing job and it's really worth the price I paid. This printer is more suitable to people with medium to heavy printing job or an office for several users to share the printer.
