any recommendations for home/home office laser printers?

Depends on your priorities.

If you are primarily printing text, and cost is important, you absolutely will not do better than Kyocera. Their claim to fame is cost per page, and they deliver. Typical cost per page is less than half of that of a comparable Hewlett Packard printer.

So, big deal, right? You save three quarters of a penney per page... in a high volume environment like mine, that savings comes to thousands of dollars a year.

Initial cost of the printer should not be a consideration -- the number that matters is cost per page.
