i assume you are taking about laser printers...becoz those deskjet printer are colour ones!!

go for HP laser, the b/w is around 6K, awesome quality around 12ppm, which is great for home user.

I presume that you have bumped this 3 year old thread for your question. But you can always create a thread for your own.

Well, getting a colour printer in your budget isn't possible.

I use HP Laserjet p1007 and I'm totally satisfied with it. Might cost a few hundred above your budget. Canon will be slightly cheaper and in your budget, so you can go for it. However, I'm not sure about Canon's support in Linux/

Xerox Phaser 3117 is the best under Rs.6000 black & white laser printer

i finally bought canon LBP2900B . fully satisfied with whatever it delivers. it's quietest in the range & much stylish than others.2400*600 is better than xerox in this range.
