EDIT: I'm changing the base price on this from $50 which was in my original post to $100 (which is still a good price) because after reading Staplels website, I think I jumped the gun on the PM since they will likely factor in the SER into the base price. Grrr....and here I was all excited.
I might have jumped the gun at the $50 price, but since I got this for ~$150 originally, I still think $100 is a decent price. It got plenty of green @ $125, though understandably that was WITHOUT the rebate. Personally I like the visa cards that come with the SER, so maybe the extra $25 will entice some of you.
Crazy that color laser printers have gotten this cheap!!
So, until I hear otherwise, the info is:
$200 for printer
-$70 SER
-$30 coupon
~$100
*****ORIGINAL MESSAGE*****
IMO, this is pretty damn hot...$50 for a color laser printer. 
If you agree, show some love.
I own this printer...originally purchased it for ~$150 I think. It is a really great, compact, quiet COLOR laser printer for a really great price. It usually goes for $200. You can get it for ~$50 After PM/SER/FS. If you have a rewards check, get it for even cheaper. This recently was $125 @ Newegg.
Right now Stapels has the Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser Printer for $199.98
A VERY SIMPLE PM to the Office Max price of $149.99 brings the total down $50 to $149.99
A $70 STAPLES EASY REBATE (WooHoo) brings the price down to $79.99
Add in your favorite <$1 filler item to get total >$150 (for example 5 pens for 90 cents) I believe you should do this REGARDLESS of if you PM while you are ordering or after the fact, so that you can make sure not to invalidate your... -->
-->...30/150 coupon drops this down to 49.99!
Are you still with me?
Then don't forget Staples 2% Fat Cash for an additional $4 back if you purchase @$199.98 (I called and did my PM AFTER I placed the order online) which will at least offset the price of your coupon. (Your cart must be EMPTY when you start!! Also, I don't know if the Fat-cash will stick or not because according to the terms on the FW page, "Contact with Stapels for price matching, sales assistance, etc. will likely cancel cash-back." So, the 2% Fat-cash is the only YMMV here.)
So...once again.
$199.98 @ Sstaples
-50.00 (PM to OfficeMax)
-70.00 (SER)
-30.00 (30/150 coupon)
+ price of coupon
- Fat-Cash (?)
+ Free Shipping
= ~$50 (Plus your local sales tax!)
*Bonus: Stapels rewards checks just came out. Use your stapels rewards check and save sales tax. I'm not sure how they figure how much sales tax you have to pay, but if you have a rewards check for a decent amount (near the cost of printer) play around with it a little bit until you see the sales tax drop! (When my total was only $2 over my rewards check, they tried to charge me FULL TAX ~$20 but when I added a toner, it dropped my tax to $2...essentially I got a toner for ~ 1/2 price.
** $70 SER is in form of prepaid visa.
*** I was too "lazy" to look up FAR software w/ printer purchase. If anyone knows of any, please post. Thanks.
Enjoy!
