Flip for these duplexing printers | ||||
![]() Elsa Wenzel, associate editor | When you want to save paper and keep your documents slim by making double-sided prints, why bother with a printer that makes you get up and turn over each page by hand? These moderately priced laser printers have built-in duplexers that will do the flipping for you, so you can send your job to the machine and sit back with your coffee or nerve-soothing mint tea while the machine does all the work for you. | |||

| Review summary | A great little monochrome laser printer, it offers fine output, duplexing, and a tight footprint that lets it fit right into any business, school, or home office. | The HL-6050D is a reasonably priced option for a growing business. | This small-workgroup monochrome laser falls short of the competition in speed, print quality, and features. | Excellent print quality, speed, and add-ons make this a great monochrome laser printer for a fast-paced office. |
