Suggestions (model, company, etc.) welcome. Although, this thing can do photoscanning, copying, and faxing. I make great use of the former two, along with printing (of course).
I have a Samsung ML-2850ND, which I think stands for Monochrome Laser, Network Duplex. Otherwise it has no features whatever. It cost me $180, does PostScript natively and I absolutely love it. Wish the toner was cheaper but it's not a major ink hog. Haven't tried printing on it with Plan 9 but I'm sure it won't be an issue.
My folks have an HP something or other ink jet with scanner, fax, copier, photo printing and a dozen different adapters on the front panel for plugging in different memory cards. It's a pile of crap, drinks ink like a fish, has to be rebooted often and they never use the features anyway. I used to think HP was a great brand, but it really seems to have gone to hell in the last several years IMO. I don't trust multifunction devices anyway.
