None of these talk about color.

Avoid color lasers for photos. Inkjets are far better for that.

You might consider a laser for most output, plus a low cost inkjet for
color. But if you don't print much, an inkjet alone may do the job.

Thanks to all who replied. Seems that some of you think the old HP laserjets
are the deal. Went looking. Hard to tell which is which. Do want color for
the occasional photo and/or other desired printout. None of these talk
about color.

One that did look interesting was the Konica Minolta that Chris Lee
mentioned.

Thanks again. Any other comments welcomed.
