I am getting a Color Laser Printer for our office, I really hate this
responsibility but hopefuly I've managed to isolate the 2 best options
for my price range and usage.

Well to cut to the chase I wanted to know which would be the better
printer: The Lexmark C510n OR HP 3700n? Our network has both Win & Linux
hosts, however this is not an issue as both printer support Postscript.

Can anyone supply, with any conviction, which would be the better printer?

Too late I ordered the C510n. The HP 3700n was a freekin RIPOFF. No
wonder HP left out Postscript support in the 3550, trying to force
consumers to pay almost double the price for what I think should be a
pretty standard feature for anything when paying that kinda price..
 
HP has an overall reputation for quality and service. Lemark has an
overall reputation for crap and lack of service. The choice is yours.
 
Wow.
I have had two HP printers that I bought because of my perception of
quality.
I laserjet 1100 and a laserjet 3200.
The 1100 started pulling through multiple pages after about 1 year.
The 3200 scanner software no longer works despite repeated attempts to
uninstall and reinstall. The fax will lock up (with no indication -
stops receiveing faxes).
All problems are known issues according to the HP boards and are not
fixed unless you represent a large company (also on the boards).

I am in the marrket for a color laser and I doubt it will be HP.
I am actually looking at Samsung CLP-5xx series for low-med small
office use.
