Default asisted Printer killing

Yesterday I unplugged my Lexmark Z51 (via the dc plug-in at the printer) so I could 'dust' (read 1/2 in thick) the shelf it's on. When I went to plug it back in It arced. Pretty good too. Of course I was highly entertained and kept making it arc. The cat even came and watched for a bit. Yes I am very easily amused, however, since I know not if it's the power brick, or the printer for sure, I decided. Well actually the wife decided when she saw me playing with the plug. That I would be getting a new printer.
Since I haven't bought or really looked at a printer since 1998 I was hoping for some peoples experience/reccomendations with recent printers. There are just too many avail.

It doesn't need to do photo output, I've got a dye/sub for that.
what it does need is:
a decent speed in black
the ability to do color
separate black/color cartridges
decent printer sharing. (this lexmark sucks with that)
$150US and under.

Thanks.
