I have an HP Deskjet 500 (purchased in December for $500).  Laser quality
output, now has ink that doesn't wash off (that was the original big
drawback).  I use Quattro Pro 2.0 with it, works BEAUTIFULLY!  At three pages
per minute in draft mode, it even is an acceptable regular printer.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
