Review summary The Dell 1720dn offers fast prints and good print quality, making it an excellent mono laser printer for small offices or work groups. The HP Color LaserJet 3600n is an average-performing color laser printer. Despite its lagging black print speeds, the Brother HL-4040CN does a lot of things right and makes a compelling color laser printer for small offices or workgroups. 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. 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
