The Bottom Line	Small offices pursuing a low-cost, grayscale workgroup laser printer can start with the Dell 1700n.	The Samsung ML-2010 markedly improves on its predecessor but remains a personal laser rather than a serious business printer.	The Dell 1720dn offers fast prints and good print quality, making it an excellent mono laser printer for small offices or work groups.	Small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's monolaser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, autoduplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.	HP's LaserJet 4200n offers small businesses impressive print quality and relatively fast speeds at a good price. Those who print graphics-intensive documents, though, should look for a faster model.
