Abstract: Studies of gauge dependent quantities are afflicted with Gribov copies, but Laplacian gauge fixing provides one possible solution to this problem. We present results for the lattice quark propagator in both Landau and Laplacian gauges using standard and improved staggered quark actions. The standard Kogut-Susskind action has errors of oa{2} while the improved ``Asqtad action has oa{4}, oag{2}{2} errors and this improvement is seen in the quark propagator. We demonstrate the application of tree-level corrections to these actions and see that Landau and Laplacian gauges produce very similar results. In addition, we test an ansatz for the quark mass function, with promising results. In the chiral limit, the infrared quark mass, $M(q^2=0)$ is found to be $260pm20$ MeV.
