HP Deskjet D4360 Colour Inkjet Printer
The Deskjet D4360 justifies its asking price nicely. At the same time, you do get exactly what you pay for.
HP Deskjet D2560
A bare bones desktop printer with a minimum of features and accessories, the HP Deskjet D2560 is really only suitable for printing basic black and white pages. Don't trust it with your photographs.
Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One Printer
Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals not very good.
Samsung ML-2851ND
Home offices and small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's mono laser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, auto-duplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.
Dell 1720 mono laser printer
The Dell 1720 offers fast prints and good print quality, making it an excellent mono laser printer for small offices or work groups.
Brother HL-2170W
The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don't expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs.
Samsung ML-1630
If you want a monochrome laser that doesn't look like yet another grey box of doom, the ML-1630 could be your perfect match.
Lexmark E250d
Lexmark E250dn is an inexpensive, high-quality monochrome laser printer. If you need the fastest text prints, however, look to the competition.
Samsung ML-2571N
The Samsung ML-2571N mono laser printer has the right combination of price and features for a home office user with basic printing needs.
HP LaserJet P2015
The HP P2015dn has the right features to make it a good fit for a small office or home office.
HP Deskjet D4260
The HP Deskjet D4260 is a good choice for home users looking for a basic printer that's good enough for projects like school reports, but that won't break the bank.
HP OfficeJet Pro K850
The HP Officejet Pro K850 fits a small and very specific niche: offices that need low volumes of high-quality prints -- including wide-format prints. Otherwise, it's too expensive for a general-purpose single-function printer.
Dell 1320c Colour Laser Printer
The Dell 1320c is a decent choice for a small office or work group, but a little more cash will net you a faster printer with better print quality.
Brother HL-4040cn
Despite its lagging black print speeds, the Brother HL-4040CN does a lot of things right and makes a compelling colour laser printer for small offices or workgroups.
Canon PIXMA iP90v
The Canon Pixma iP90v is the Vista-enabled version of the older Pixma iP90 and offers nearly the same print speeds and quality. It's a very useful printer if you travel a lot and need to print often, but consider the purchase carefully because it's quite expensive.
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.
Samsung CLP-300
Less than stellar print quality and glacial colour printing mar this otherwise admirable stab at shrinking the colour laser printer and making them more user friendly.
Canon Pixma iP4300 
If you are looking for a competitively priced printer that gives you the flexibility of high volume text printouts as well as photo printing capabilities, the Canon Pixma iP4300 is ideal.
HP Photosmart 8230
Aiming at the world's fastest photo printer title, the HP Photosmart 8230 can pump out a 4 x 6 inch colour print in as little as 14 seconds.
HP LaserJet 1022
This speedy, stylish, good-quality but basic laser printer fits solo users and students.
