Sam's color laser ?

[csims]

Local Sam's Club has a Minolta color laser for $699. I believe it said 2??? Magicolor. Is that a good printer and a good price? Any idea what toners cost?

I couldn't find any in-depth reviews (that's a sign), but I did find this:

700 is a good price for a laser printer.

I have administered a QMS/Minolta 2200 Magicolor, and while the printouts are spectacular, the software has some issues.
Sometimes I have driver problems so that everything comes out 45 degrees sideways... It's very odd. A different printer driver will then make it work again...
It's a network printer, and I partially blame that for the issues.

Anyway, it's a good printer, but it's got a fair share of quirks. I assume other models are somewhat similar in behavior.

Bit the bullet and got it. It's a Minolta 2200 Magicolor. Has 32 meg memory, 4 seperate toners, and network port built in. Print output is very good. Had a little trouble getting it to work on the network, Winxp Pro doesn't need their printmoniter program as it has a tcpip port driver built in. The instructions must be for home version as they said you had to install the moniter. Quit following instructions and it worked great. Cheapest i've found color toners so far is $129 but shouldn't need any for a while as the toners are good for 6,000 pages it says.
