I'm about to buy this printer and was wondering if anyone could comment on it:

It's the HP cm1312 multi-function printer, scanner.

It scans, prints in b/w as well as colour, it's postscript compatible, and under 350$.
 
What do you need the printer to do?

HP makes some of the better laser printers in the market, but the "right" one for you depends on the features that you need it to have.

For example, personally, I wouldn't want anything that doesn't offer an automatic loading tray or built-in duplex printing. But that's not to say that the printer you're considering is a bad choice in general; it's just not what I want. (Then again, what I really want costs a lot more than $350.)

I got a free Epson CX7400 that can do all that, too. ;) (Actually, Epson paid me $10 for it :p)

So yah, as tiraides said, it would help to fill us in on your planned usage.

No, the Epson CX7400 doesn't produce laser-printed output (since it's an inkjet) nor would it print a .ps file (since it isn't post-script compatible).

It should have an ethernet port, be post-script compatible, and have a scanner. The fact that it's laser and prints also in colour is a plus.

I didn't quote the laser part, and I meant to remove the ps part, lol. My point was and still remains, get whatever fits your needs. Since you won't tell us your needs, only you can decide if that printer will work for you or not. I haven't used that particular model, so I can offer no further help.
