How much do you print? How important is the speed? Color or B&W?

if you want to print photos, do not get a colour laser. you can get a laser if you're mostly doing documents and then pick up a photo printer separately. what do you print normally?

Need color - but will mainly be printing graphics & such for labels/wrappers I make. My HP deskjet did great for a while.
I need something that'll last thru 100's of pages printed back to back. Want laser 'cause I thought it was the best out there (I could be wrong of course!) BUt I know waterproof paper can only be used on laser (which I'd like to use @ times),

Speed doesn't really matter I don't guess - Though I'm pretty impatient....

I'm not a printer expert.

I got a Dell 3010cn. It's color. It's relatively fast (25ppm/5ppm). It's relatively cheap ($300). It holds a lot of paper.

I'm not really happy with the paper feeding. It tends to jam occasionally. It also consumes more power than I'd like, but I think that's true of all lasers.
