Best Laser Printers 2026: Monochrome, Color & All-in-One

The HP LaserJet MFP M234dwe ($169) is a compact all-in-one monochrome laser printer designed for home office users who need more than just printing. The integrated flatbed scanner handles single-page document scanning and ID card copies. The automatic document feeder (ADF) feeds up to 35 pages hands-free for scanning multi-page documents. Wireless setup via the HP Smart app takes about 5 minutes on a standard home network. Print speed is rated up to 30 pages per minute -- fast enough that you will not wait impatiently for a 20-page document. The monthly duty cycle handles home office volumes comfortably. The HP+ compatible design lets you optionally enroll in Instant Ink, but it works fully without a subscription using standard toner. At $169, it sits at the entry point for all-in-one laser performance. The limitation versus pure-print laser models is footprint: the scanner mechanism makes it larger and heavier than print-only alternatives. If you never scan, the Brother HL-L2370DW is a tighter package at $180 with higher print speed.

The Brother HL-L2370DW ($180) is a print-only monochrome laser printer that prioritizes speed and paper handling over all-in-one features. At 36 pages per minute, it is one of the faster compact laser printers at this price. The automatic duplex (two-sided) printing is standard -- a feature some HP competitors charge more for. The 250-sheet paper tray handles a full ream without reloading. Brother's toner cartridges have a strong reputation for yield: standard cartridges run 1,200 pages and high-yield options reach 3,000+ pages at lower per-page cost than many HP toner alternatives. Wireless and USB connectivity both work, and the Brother iPrint&Scan app covers mobile printing without complications. The honest limitation is that this is print-only: there is no scanner, no copier, and no all-in-one capability. If you need to scan documents, you will need a separate scanner. For an office that only needs to print -- contracts, invoices, school papers -- and values speed and toner economy over feature breadth, this is a strong choice at the price.

The Brother MFC-L2750DW ($640) is the professional-tier option on this list -- designed for offices or power users who print 500+ pages per month and need the reliability and speed to match. It is a full all-in-one: print, scan, copy, and fax (the fax capability is primarily for businesses with legacy requirements). The 60-sheet automatic document feeder handles multi-page scan jobs efficiently, and print speed reaches 36 PPM. The monthly duty cycle is rated significantly higher than the home office alternatives, meaning it can handle sustained high-volume print jobs without performance degradation. The 50-sheet bypass tray allows specialized paper types without clearing the main tray. At $640, this is a substantial investment that only makes financial sense for volume users -- the per-page toner cost at high yield is favorable, but the hardware cost payback requires meaningful monthly volume. For occasional home printing, the HP or entry-level Brother are the right tools.
