Can someone recommend a printer with these features?

• color
• handles 110 lb cardstock in duplex
  • manual feed OK
  • auto feed, fabulous!
• ethernet, wired or wireless

My Xerox 850DP just passed on to the great printer pool in the sky.

I presume that you mean Xerox Phaser 8500DP. This is still a relatively new printer. You don't throw away a printer like that, you get it fixed.

It's a Tektronix (Xerox) Phaser 850DP (one zero) and it's seven years old.

Well, your Tektronix printer gave you years of faithful service. I currently own two Xerox Phasers, an 8400DP and an 8550DP. The newer printer set me back less than $1000 US. Unlike HP, Xerox printers are still built like anvils. You can currently get a Phaser 8560/DN to replace your old printer for $899 from Xerox Direct.

That looks like a good price for a good machine. However, the specs go only up to 80 lb single side, 45 lb duplex. My 850's specs went up to 110, although I learned from experience that it did not like to duplex the heavy stuff.
