Hey friends I am willing to buy a small laser printer for home use and my budget is $200. I have checked out some of them but as I don’t have much idea about the printers i need suggestion from you all guys to narrow down my search and get the best one out of it. So is there anyone who can help me with some best small laser printer within my range?? Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.

As far as your budget is concerned I think that Samsung ML-1740 will be the best in your case, it will probably cost you for $150. Its basically a black-and-white laser printer and will cost you half the price of the average monochrome laser that are available today. It will take 14-inch square on your desk and 7.5 inches high. It has a glossy white-plastic shell and a 250-sheet main paper tray. I think that it will be the best for home use. It probably prints ordinary text at 13.0ppm which is enough for home use according to me.

So as I have mentioned the benefits and some features of the Samsung ML-1740 you also need to know the drawbacks before getting it. Here are some of them:

• Samsung ML-1740 will not work with a Mac
• It will reduce maintenance but will probably hiking the refill cost’s but then that depends on the use of it.
• The letters break up a bit on small fonts
• One gets a 1,000-page cartridge with the shipping so you will have to soon refill it.

Hey thanks for the same. I have checked out the Samsung ML-1740 and it looks nice and I can keep it as one of my option. Anyways I just wanted to know that is there any small color laser printer available in the same range or within $250? I don’t have any problem in getting black-and-white laser printer but I will like to know if there is any color option for me within the range I have specified?

I am looking after small laser printer for home use but if they can be used for some small office use then it will be a plus point for me.Any further suggestions are welcomed.

There are some good choices here but I think that Dell Laser Printer 1700 is just the best and fits perfectly in your range as well. You can get it for $199, it comes in Dell's signature black-and-silver colors, the text Print quality is not that good but the Grayscale photo Print quality is just too good. The Output Score, Line Art, Default Settings (formerly pf-Output-Print-LineArt-Default) as well as the Output Score, Text, Default Settings (formerly pf-Output-Print-Text-Default) are said to be poor according to the test but then the Output Score, Grayscale Graphics, Best Quality Settings (formerly pf-Output-Print-Grayscale-Best) is quite good below are the other test results:
Print speed: Text-13.5 ppm
Color Photo (secs)-31.38
Color Photo, Normal Settings-31.38
One-Page Grayscale Graphic (secs)-39.58
Ten-Page Word Document (secs)-44.42
Tested Color Speed (ppm)-3.6
Three-Page PowerPoint Document (secs)-43.7
Three-Page Word Document (secs)-29.15
