Yes I have purchased an HP color Laser Jet CP1518ni. A PCL Driver - PCL6
will provide both greyscale and colour images without problems for me,
however it is necessary to change options for grey scale to print B@W
text and the colour for all colour images.
If you want to print Black and White text from a color driver set as
such you will end up with rubbish.

I much prefer to use Postscript Level II with does both very well

The flexibility you wish in terms of Printer RAM and a huge amount of
others can be set at the printer. Its a good idea to print the Printers
Menu System where you can allocate resources etc.

I would also suggesting that the Printer Be set up with its own
IP/SUBNET address and you print to it via IPP. There is no need for a PC
to Manage the Printer and it is best connected by twisted pair cable

anyone have experience with latest high end HP color lasers like HP
Color LaserJet CP4005dn Printer? I want duplex printing & lot's of
memory. Hard to choose without user feedback.

Me, mid-low end: CP1515n. Very happy, but no idea of durability/
reliability (too early). Not sturdy, I think, the tray is made of
plastic. Printed output very good, photos look good (colorsphere, they
call it), surprising for the 600*600 dpi resolution it has. No economy
mode printing.
