Brother make a couple, eg
http://www.brother-usa.com/printer/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=HL3075CW but
tend not to mention it's a LED printer, just a 'colour printer'. I guess
that's not to scare people looking for a 'laser printer'.

Oki seem to only do high-end ones, like

05404Free3YrWarranty.

$1400 is a bit much, especially when a similar spec laser is only around
$750, see bottom of
http://www.okiprinters.net.au/PRODUCTS/COLOURPRINTERS/A4COLOURPRINTERS.

Still, there should be few used ones kicking around.

And yes, they still make dot matrix ones:

either! (Could be old stock from 1991...)
