Need advice for coloured laser printers

[hellknight]

My friend, who is doing an animation course from Arena multimedia, wants to buy a colored laser printer for home. Basically, he has following requirements :-

1. Should be cheap (top priority)
2. Should be compatible with Windows, Mac & Linux.
3. Should have cheap refills.

I was suggesting to him that he should go for a monochrome laser & an inkjet. But he's confused. So, I need recommendations for both colored lasers & monochrome laser & inkjet combo..
