Printer recommendations?

pbrayMany years ago, flushed with success after selling my first book, I purchased an HP inkjet printer. As I recall it was on sale for $399.
Pause. Blink. $399. A bargain at the time.
It still works, but it's slow. The input paper tray holds a maximum of 100 sheets, and the output tray needs to be emptied if there are more than 50 sheets in it, otherwise they begin spewing all over the floor. Normally this isn't an issue, except for the times when I need to print an entire manuscript. As happened recently, when I needed to print off not one by three copies, which meant an entire evening of babysitting the printer.
I'm now toying with the idea of purchasing a laser printer. Any thoughts or recommendations? I thought about it last year but was lazy and never got around to making a decision. But the prices of B&W laser printers have come down so much that it's really foolish not to have one.
