Just remember, it is only a printer

Given that it is just an all in one printer, does the quality or reliability really play into it that much?

It does to your sanity.
When you have users screaming at you all the time that their printer doesn't work, it drives you mad.
While a much larger desktop machine I love our Laniers. They seem to require a minimal amount of maintenance and just do a good job.
We have a floor version of a Konica Minolta AIO - the one thing that drives me crazy about it is that you can't enter/edit the configuration while the machine is doing anything other than being idle. Due to our fax volume, this means that I must unplug the machine from the phone line and suspend the print queue to make changes to it.
The Laniers don't suffer this problem, nor has any other brand I've ever used.

Apparently the only product we can choose is Canon as per their hardware catalog! Anyone used a Canon product before?
Available models are
I'm sorry you must deal with this. Canon machines ARE fairly durable, and are known to go basically not die. They are very similar to the HP LJ 4000 series. You still see Canons 15-20+ years later in production. However, you pay a HUGE premium for that, in the form of high-cost toners and the like.

@Ambarishrh , do you have a limited selection in Canon to choose from, or just that you have to choose Canon?
-
Also, is color still a requirement? Or can you go with a just b/w laser?

Color still a requirement and the model that matches the req is Canon imageCLASS MF621Cn. The price point is big but yeah i guess this is what we can get.

Just out of curiosity, why is Canon who you're stuck with?

We have a global hardware catalog which is decided and agreed with vendors all around the world in all offices. I dont get involved in these decisions but the request for such device came from our India office and i was just helping them.

Got it. I wasn't arguing it. I was curious but that, at least, I get.
