The Bottom Line	The Samsung CLX-3160FN isn't the best or fastest multifunction printer, but it offers a good value for small offices and work groups with basic needs.		The HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP is a great choice for small offices that need a multifunction laser with excellent print quality.	The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touch screen, multiple networking options, and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.	The Epson AcuLaser CX11NF makes available all the office document-handling basics--except PC faxing--at a low price.
