Network–ready laser printers Updated December 19, 2005 A mature office needs to hook up its employees with a sturdy network printer that can handle a workgroup's work flow. These five laser printers come in network-ready versions to serve as printing hubs for your corner of the company. You can buy all but the Samsung CLP-510N with a built-in duplexer to make double-sided prints. The Brother HL-6050D and the Samsung CLP-510N also offer options for printing via a Wi-Fi network; others may require a Wi-Fi print server. If you need to add color to your printing repertoire, check out the Samsung CLP-510N or the high-end Lexmark C762n. The Lexmark printer makes an ideal fit for lawyers, accountants, and designers who want to track use and bill by the hour.

| Review summary | Excellent print quality, speed, and add-ons make this a great monochrome laser printer for a fast-paced office. | This small-workgroup monochrome laser falls short of the competition in speed, print quality, and features. | The HL-6050D is a reasonably priced option for a growing business. | Despite its less-than-perfect text quality, we consider this to be one of the best all-around deals for an affordable color laser. | A good fit for law or accounting firms, the C762n has the speed, the print quality, and the features to support a whole office. |
