It would most likely either be connected to my PC, with a Vista computer using it via Samba, or both computers connecting via home network, depending on what features the printer offers.

That question has been asked and answered a lot in this list recently
(last 6+ months or so).

Laser (asked by me):

What I got ($500+)

Personally, I've had problems getting HP Desk/Office Jets to work under
Debian and Ubuntu and I wanted real official (even if second class)
Linux drivers and support, so I went with Brother after being a die-hard
HP fan for a long time. I'm also sick and tired of all the inkjet BS;
crappy devices, so-so output, way too expensive ink, etc. so I wanted
laser. As you can see, from the above post, so far I'm quite pleased
with the Brother MFC-9840CDW. YMMV.
Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
