Per ounce it's probably more expensive.

I believe the one I am using is an HP 3505 right now, but I think they 
were discontinued. *most* HP's we've had decent luck with. I had a 
Samsung CLP-600 that kept giving fuser underheat and overhead problems 
repeatedly and unpredictably so I trashed it. There was one model HP I 
had (probably in the archives) that liked to jam up by not feeding 
properly. But overall we've still had the best luck with the HP lasers.
