I suppose some people need something that beefy but I can't imagine many startups need it their first couple years.
We've gotten by with just a cheap Brother networked laser printer for 3 years. If we need to fax something, we walk a block to the blueprint shop and pay $1
It also depends on the nature of your business -- in our case, we deal with a lot of paper and a lot of technologically unsophisticated clients. And when we need to prepare a proposal for submission on a deadline, having the copier in-house and with zero problems is crucial.

Right -- and if you fax something once a month, this makes sense. But if you fax something once a week, it probably doesn't -- especially if you need to, say, scan multi-page documents regularly, and so forth.
