I can strongly recommend the Konica Minolta Magicolor 1650 EN.  It does 
great color, duplex, large tray, ethernet and it's a postscript driver.  
I have one and love it.  The price is also excellent, better than most 
of the competition.  The only downside is that it is not a very fast 
printer.  If you flood it with image data (like 100 page scanned 
documents) the printing speed slows down to about 30 seconds a page, but 
normally it's a lot better.

PostScript is actually getting easier to find in printers. Aladdin's 
commercial GhostScript engine is considerably more affordable to license 
than Adobe's, and that has fueled more and cheaper PostScript printers.
