I bought the last one Frys Electronics had. I found it by just going into the store and seeing what sales they had going at the time.
Mine is a 3730DN, no wireless on it. A way around that would be to find a wireless print server.
Here's one Best Buy has:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Agptek+-+USB+2.0+Network+Print+Server+Printer+Share+Hub/5352482.p;jsessionid=25DEC949253FF42B84FD620800784021.bbolsp-app02-67?id=1218634902914&skuId=5352482
You set it up with a network cable by addressing a web page on the print server, once you have the print server configured to connect to your wireless network you disconnect the network cable and you should be cable free by using a short USB cable from the print server to the printer.

I stopped using ink jet printers after I saw the problems with them. If you don't use them they dry up and if you do use them the ink doesn't last very long.
Laser color printers have really come down in price. I just bought a Konica color laser that does duplex color (prints both sides, full color, at once) for $350, part of the total price was a service contract on it. The toner cartridges last forever. My last color laser was a Brother and had an electrical problem after a few years. Took me awhile to find the deal on the Konica. All the Brother laser printers I've had ended up with some type of fault. I've stopped buying them.
I work at a commercial printing company. We use huge Epson ink jet printers for color proofing, they print a 40 inch (plus some) wide sheet. This cartridges last pretty long but they're used every day and the reservoirs in them are huge. But the cartridges are really expensive, I think somewhere around $1000 each and they use around 6 or 8 different cartridges. They look something like a VHS movie cassette. They tell me the cartridges last a really long time but I see them buying new ones pretty often.
I'm not sure if a laser printer will print on a glossy sheet though. I've never tried it. I know ink jets do.

I stopped buying HP product a long time ago because nobody would clone their
ink. That may have changed by now but I will not likely go back to HP. The
printers I owned could not feed paper without jamming.

Now u tell me. Kidding. Well I was reminded of those ink refiller stores,
which we do have local. I just got a new HP all in one and waited long b4 I
bothered but I needed the copier and eprinter capacity. I just remember
hearing a story about how these software, hardware, printer, people work
together for kickbacks Im sure.
