What is the best color laser printer for me?

I am looking for color quality as good as a Lexmark 1300 Series inkjet. Maybe a paper tray. Not too large. Very few consumables to replace (eg. NO separate items, like drum/imaging unit or waste container). Toner should not be expensive, but drum/imaging should be included/attached to toner if needed. That way I only have to buy 1 or 2 items instead of several different items. Try to do a little research first. Don't just put down some random answer. If you have this printer, has it ever jammed? Are there any other issues with it? Let me know about any important quality of the printer so that I can make an educated decision. NOTE: I want a printer that only requires periodic toner replacement. OPTIONAL: I would like duplexing and envelope support if possible, but I don't want a very expensive printer. yes JD I know they are, but I am asking for a color LASER printer that has at least the same or better quality as the inkjet I have at the present time. I will mostly be using the color only for printing CD jewel case inserts.

1. Inkjet printers are "junk", especially mechanically! http://reviews.cnet.com/computer-printers/
2. You are contradicting yourself. If the drum is part of the toner, it WILL be expensive to replace the toner since you will have to buy a new drum each time. We have 5 Samsung CLP-300 color lasers in our extended family. They all cost under $100 brand new delivered. The last one was purchased on ebay for $96. In over a year we only had to replace one black toner on the most used printer, so they truly get 2,000 pages per toner. A set of all 4 toners is $50 at http://www.ccs-digital.com It won't print photos at the same resolution as a good inkjet and you cant use glossy paper (at least not the kind for photo printers), but it prints fast and sharp and even photos are acceptable.
