I'm also looking for a printer. Color isn't important, but it would be

nice. I perfer laser to inkjet. I would also like to free up some

space by going with a multi-fuction printer. Currently I'm looking

closely at the HP Laserjet Pro CM1415FNW. Anyone have any pearls of

wisdom regarding this printer.
