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 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.	This truly business-friendly color laser multifunction can seamlessly replace the army of devices in your office.	The HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP is a great choice for small offices that need a multifunction laser with excellent print quality.
