Most of those are pretty easy except the fax option. With that, you get
into MFP territory, which is either low-end or high-end but very little
in the middle. HP used to have a fax receive module that could be added
to some printers, but it's long since discontinued.

This also depends on the workload. If you're printing more than a few
thousand pages a month, the low-end but expensive MFPs (LJ 3027, $1499)
are already out of their league. The high-end ones are above the given
price range.

There are other options: set up a computer as a fax receiver and just
have it print all jobs to the network printer. Or if you don't receive
many faxes, use a small standalone fax machine.

Either of those options would let you use something like an LJ4240 with
an extra tray.

If you're open to used options, any of the LJ4000/5000/8000 printers
would work, have PostScript, and can be had for a fraction of your
budget.

All of the HP printers mentioned above take EIO JetDirects or have an
Ethernet interface built in.
