Just the fax (recommendations), please

[marlene]

My trusty old HP LaserJet 3100 fax machine has croaked. It needs a new printer fixing unit, which apparently costs over $100, and IIRC my repairman charges a minimum of $75 for showing up and doing the labor (could be more for the labor, dunno how long the repair would take).

Anyway, I just spent $75 on a fax repair in March, so I think I have spent enough money on this beast, which is getting kind of long in the fangs anyway -- I bought it in January 1999.

Any recommendations for a new model? I am partial to HP, but I understand the Canon makes their engines, so presumably a Canon would also be good. It doesn't need to double as a printer or scanner. It needs to be fairly fast and have good print quality (with a superfine fax setting). Needs to be able to feed 25 or more outgoing pages.

And it definitely must be laser -- I don't want an inkjet scanner.

Suggestions?
