Not so easy in fact. Most manufacturers make you select 2 out of {laser,
all-in-one, wireless} at least in a reasonable price range. Looks like a
marketing opportunity to me.
If I decide to forgo wireless I might take the Brother DCP7055. My
brother (I know :-) actually has one and recommends it, though he's a
Mac user and doesn't know about Linux compatibility.
I'm keen on wireless mainly because my router has no spare ports, but of
course there are solutions to that including a USB connection (the
printer will be physically close to the workstation).
