Multifunction laser printers Updated December 14, 2005 If you run your own business from home, you're likely a one-person powerhouse, a master of multitasking--and you need a printer to match. These Swiss Army Knife-like office machines make laser prints, photocopies, and flatbed scans, and they send faxes, too. The Brother MFC-8220 is the fastest printer in this pack. If you need color documents as well, only the Canon ImageClass MF8170c can help you; it's the first color laser multifunction to cost a friendly $1,000. |

| Review summary | This truly business-friendly color laser multifunction can seamlessly replace the army of devices in your office. | The Samsung SCX-4100 is an economic choice for small-job printing, copying, and scanning, but Mac users or those who need to fax must look elsewhere. | For an inexpensive multifunction printer, Brother's MFC-8220 is fast and offers most of the features a small office needs. | The reliable, easy-to-use Samsung SCX-4720F has great performance but a few glitches, notably limitations on its USB flash drive reader. | The MF8170c is a great home-office multifunction, but in bigger offices it's suitable only for patient workgroups. | The Canon ImageClass MF5750 offers all the basics in a competent, affordable package. |
