>I don't know about "best", but there's a Brother laser for sale at Best Buy for $100, with Ethernet and WiFi. It's well-reviewed, but the graphics capabilities are supposedly lacking. I take that to mean gray-scale. As long as it can print nice thick lines, I figure it should be good enough for Eagle. :-) I'm thinking about picking one up so that I can start making my own boards. 

Which would be nice except for one thing.  Some Brother laser printers
have high temperature toner, which will not work well with a normal
iron or laminator.  I am not sure about your model number, but I'd
check it out very carefully, otherwise, you have a wonderful laser
printer and no boards.  The HP 1000 series seem to work well, and I
know for a reasonable fact that the 22xx series work well as well.
