Buy.com has the Konica Minolta Magicolor 3730DN Color Laser Printer for $179 with free shipping. Full-featured printer has gigabit ethernet connectivity, 25ppm, 120,000 monthly duty cycle, automatic two-sided duplex printing.
both buy.com and konicaminolta.us say fast ethernet ("Fast Ethernet" and "Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseTX)" respectively).
not that i'm out to disprove bensbargains, but i was looking into the printer because a color laser with automatic duplexing and ethernet at this price point is alluring, but it's host-based GDI and not PS/PCL.
Bulk toner refills with reset microchip are $138 a 4 pack set on eBay or $42 each color. Not bad for a color laser when you consider they're 5K page refills.
don't forget the reset chips. I've also bought refilled toner carts for my KM (5430DL) and the printer caught on and told me Unusable cart. I swapped chips, put old orig back in, searched high and low. I drew the line at some point and bought another orig with no more risk or time expended on my part.
it's not gigabit.

Gigabit wouldn't help anyway.
Check the price of toner before being allured

If you want cost per page to be much lower you'll have to settle for B&W printers.
