Paper pushers

Do you cringe when a printer runs out of paper halfway through your due-yesterday report? Stop jonesing for a bigger paper tray and splurge on a printer that will support your office's printing habits. For starters, here's a handful of laser models--some grayscale, some color--that hold at least one ream of paper. Most consumer lasers provide just half that space. Do you print often on envelopes, company letterhead, or forms? These machines also unpack with an extra, 100-sheet auxiliary tray.

And if that's not enough, you can always pay more to expand. Add a whopping 2,000-page capacity to the Lexmark C762n for $1,250. The Dell follows in expandability, demanding $500 to hold 1,000 more pages. The Dell, by the way, is the only model in this bunch to include double-sided printing at no extra cost.
