Laser printers used to live firmly in the office environment, but lower prices and smaller footprints have given them a toehold in home offices recently. You can easily find a mono or color laser--or even a laser multifunction--for less than $500 these days. So stop sneaking prints at work and get yourself your very own laser printer for your home. Here are five of our favorites for less than $500.

The Bottom Line With fast speeds and impressive print quality, the Lexmark C530dn is a great color laser printer for the price. We prefer it over a more expensive color printer from the competition. With low print costs, great print quality, and decent speeds, the Samsung SCX-4200 is a no-brainer for a home office or very small office on a budget. With its low cost of consumable, fast print speeds, and excellent print quality, the Samsung ML-3051N is an excellent mono laser printer for a small office with multiple users. The Lexmark C500n is a fast color laser printer fit for a multiuser environment with high-volume printing needs. The competition offers more features, but slower printing or lower-quality prints. The Dell 1815dn is a good choice for a home office or a very small workgroup that needs a network-ready multifunction machine for monochrome printing, scanning, faxing, and copying.
