I use the Samsung SL-C1860FW/XAA. I watched it on CamelCamelCamel.com for months until it dropped in price because I wanted a color printer with scanning abilities. (Paid $214 for it) I prefer laser over ink - costs less per page, you don't have to worry about crusted over ink jets from waiting too long in between printings, and fewer moving parts = fewer repairs, less chance of breaking.
However if you're only wanting black and white with no scanning they make these models also. If you live off campus I'd suggest getting the model with a scanner.

If you scroll down on those pages, there's a side by side comparison of all Samsung laser printers.
