I've been pretty pleased with the Brother MFC420CN.
It's a very compact inkjet printer, flatbed scanner and fax with a built in ethernet interface and a built in card reader that I can use from my 560x.
I've got it plugged into my wireless router so my wife and daughter can print form anywhere. My desktop (that dare not speak it's name) is connected by ethernet. The solid state 560x doesn't have enough disk space to install the full network package so I'm using a much trimmer USB only driver that offers most of the functions of the network driver in a fraction of the disk space.
The paper tray only holds 100 pages or so so it's not a high production machine but for a small office like mine it fits very well.
