So im looking to get a color laser printer for my home, but i dont want to break the bank (planning a wedding).. i'd like to keep it at $300 or less.. right now im looking at these printers.. any suggestions or comments on these?

Samsung clp-300
Samsung clp-500
HP 1600
HP 2600n

a few things concern me.. i've heard that some laser toner carts go by page count and not toner usage? so even if you still have toner left, once you print a certain number of pages you need to replace the carts.. is that true?? do these printers apply? is there a way around that? also, ive read about blurry text and crappy photos.. basically if anyone has any 1st hand experience and could recommend anything, id really appreciate it.. thanks in advance!

All the printers at my school are laser, text does not print blurry on them, and images are surprisingly good considering the paper quality and the print settings, definately not crappy. Just my £0.02
