Budget shopping tips: Printers
Shopping for a budget printer doesn't have to be an exercise in anger management and self-abasement. Contrary to the stigma, many printers can produce great-quality photos and documents without breaking the bank or eating up expensive consumables.
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.

Samsung CLP-310
You don't get blazingly fast laser speeds with the CLP-310, but it does live up to the hype of offering affordable colour laser printing in a small form factor.
-
Canon Selphy CP770
The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the battery pack which would make it totally portable is not included.
-
Brother MFC-7440N
The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
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.
