Find The Right Laser Printers

HP Color LaserJet CP1215

The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems. Your $299 will go much further with the Dell 1320c, another color laser with faster print speeds for the same price.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 12 pages/min, 8 pages/min, PC, USB

HP Color LaserJet CP2025n

Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features such as USB-direct printing and wireless, the color laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. The CP2025n also has a high monthly duty-cycle, so we recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.

HP LaserJet 1020

The HP LaserJet 1020 is a good deal for home users who have light print needs, but just a little bit more money can get you more features and better print quality.

HP LaserJet P3005dn

The HP LaserJet P3005 is a great mono laser printer for small- and medium-sized offices, but it's expensive. We think Lexmark's E350 series offers a better value.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 33 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 33 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Parallel

HP LaserJet P3005n

The HP LaserJet P3005 is a great mono laser printer for small- and medium-sized offices, but it's expensive. We think Lexmark's E350 series offers a better value.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 35 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

HP Color LaserJet 1600

The HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer is the same printer as the HP CLJ 2600n with fewer features. Unlike the 2600n, the 1600 is not network ready and can be connected only via USB. Finally, the CLJ 1600 printer is compatible only with Windows-based PCs; the 2600n works with both PCs and Macs. Because both models use the same processor and memory, performance and print quality should be the same, so our assessment of those aspects of the 2600n stand for the 1600 as well. With its basic features and smaller price tag (about $299), the HP CLJ 1600 is better suited for home office environments.

Specs: Personal printer - Laser - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 8 pages/min, PC, USB

HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn

The HP 2605dtn has some flaws, but it prints color cheaply and well enough for small offices, individuals, and small corporate workgroups.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

HP Color LaserJet 2605dn

The HP Color LaserJet 2605dn is the same printer as the Color LaserJet 2605dtn, just pared down a bit. It lacks the third paper tray and the photo memory card slots but costs $200 less than the 2605dtn. Its performance and print quality should be exactly the same as the 2605dtn that we reviewed.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Wired, 12 pages/min, 10 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

HP Color LaserJet 3600n

The HP Color LaserJet 3600n is an average-performing color laser printer.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 17 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

HP Color LaserJet 3600dn

The HP Color LaserJet 3600dn is basically the same printer as the 3600n, but with additional memory and a duplexer for double-sided printing. The print quality should be the same as that of the 3600n.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 17 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

HP Color LaserJet 2600n

This HP is affordable if you want a simple color laser printer with wired networking, but it's sluggish.

Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

HP LaserJet 1022

Specs: Personal printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 18 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

HP LaserJet 1022nw

The HP LaserJet 1022 series of grayscale laser printers is designed for small offices and homes. We reviewed the 1022 base model. To network this printer via Ethernet, pay $100 more for the 1022n version. If you're into Wi-Fi, add another $100 to get the wireless-ready 1022nw.

Specs: Personal printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 18 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, 802.11b, 802.11g, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX
