$879.00
Specs:
Workgroup printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 38 pages/min, 18 pages/min, 40 pages/min, PC, Mac, Unix, USB, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n (draft), Ethernet 10/100Base-TX
The Bottom Line
The Lexmark E460dw is an overly priced one-trick pony that produces mediocre prints at an inconsistent pace. Small businesses looking for a single-function monolaser should turn their attention toward the Samsung ML-2851ND instead.© 2009 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

The Bottom Line
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.© 2009 CBS Interactive Inc.

The Bottom Line
The Samsung CLP-315W is a fancy looking wireless laser printer with a clean design and small footprint, but the output quality is unacceptable and the blisteringly slow speeds will have you searching for other options© 2009 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Specs:
Workgroup printer - Laser - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 12 pages/min, 8 pages/min, PC, USB
The Bottom Line
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.© 2009 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

The Bottom Line
Small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's monolaser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, autoduplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.© 2009 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

The Bottom Line
The Samsung ML-1630 can't claim to be the best value among $200 mono laser printers--the competition offers faster print speeds and more features--but the ML-1630's aesthetic appeal is undeniable.© 2009 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.
