Here's what I need:

Color
Duplex
Connects to the NETWORK (not USB or Parallel)
Scan
FAST! 30 or more ppm preferably.
Two paper trays

All this for less than $300, can it be done?
Also, what kind of color technology is the best? I see Inkjet, Laserjet, Bubblejet, and all these names that look like marketing BS to me. What's the one I want?
 
Inkjet and bubblejet are the same, and both are great for photos, but are slower and cost more per print than laser.

Most of your requirements point to a color laser printer and can be had for about $100 or so more, but not sure about the scanner part.

I have an HP 4500DN Color LaserJet with an extra paper tray but not the duplexor (which I was planning on buying used from a member here for $50) and it is a great workhorse.
The newer HP's are probably faster (I would think they would be as mine is 7 years old).
