....anybody have any recommendations? I don't want to spend a whole lot of money (no more than $400 or so). I'm looking for something that has very good text quality, pretty good graphics quality, and somewhere in the area of 10 ppm. It can be laser or inkjet, although I prefer the former (color isn't all that important to me). Any suggestions?

I love my Epson 740 it isn't the fastest thing out there for high quality printting but if you got ten mins to spare for a full page 1440 DPI pictruer then hay its only about 50 now and if you want faster then they have faster lines with higher printing qualitiy for about 250 to 300 go with them.

The Epson Stylus Photo 780 is a sure thing. $149 after a $50 rebate. True photo printing, about 8 ppm in text mode. This is an outstanding printer. I have never seen better pictures out of an inkjet before. It might be slow for a full page photo, but on the right paper (Kodak Premium Photo) you'd swear it was developed at a lab.
Epson also makes a USB laser that's under $400. If you print a lot of text, especially in high volumes, buy that for text and the 780 for graphics printing.

I've got two 700 series Epsons and one 900 series as well. I would go with the 980. It's the current 900 series. Fast and high quality for both text and graphics. The problem with laser is that for 400 bucks, you're dreaming about color graphics.

How well do these inkjets handle PDFs? I know there used to be a utility that would allow inkjet printers to handle PDFs in OS9...anybody know if that's coming to X? WIth OSX, I'm probably going to have to deal with that format more, seeing as how PDF support is native. Ideally, I'd like a PostScript laser printer,but finding one on a budget is pretty much impossible.
Any good used printer suggestions?
