Laser, assuredly. I bought a Samsung a few years ago - unfortunately that line has now been bought by HP but it's still good and reasonable. Colour laser - certainly but the consumables are hight cost when you have to replace them. For you that might be once a decade. Networked is very necessary: duplex with a high quality feeder is a thing I wish I'd been able to afford. If you have an office supplies / print shop locally, there's a lot to be said for printing long documents there and having them in a comb binder even if you have got a good printer. I have a separate scanner (or two): unless you go up to the top quality office printers, the MFP quality is not great for scanning. HP is the most likely to be readily available. It's worth pricing up the quality of desktop space/power/wiring taken up vs. actual usage: best printers do tend to be the larger models though I used a tiny mono printer for a few years quite successfully.
