There are lots of low-cost lasers with ethernet - there are a bunch of HP
LJs in the $200 ballpark, most with parallel and more than a few with
network, Brother also competes in the same price range. If you can deal
with rebates, CompUSA, OfficeMax, and Office Depot, to name a few, have
some choices.

There's always eBay, .. and if you do find a printer with a parallel port
it's simple to add a print server (e.g. Axis).
