Samsung CLP-365W

One step down in Samsung's color laser printer line from the Editors' Choice Samsung CLP-415NW that I recently reviewed, the Samsung CLP-365W ($230 street) can serve as a shared printer in a micro office or as a personal printer in any size office. While it can certainly do the job it's meant for, it doesn't boast any notable strengths that might make it a compelling choice. In addition to a price that's suitably low for a personal printer, the CLP-365W offers a small enough size to share a desk with easily. At just 8.3 by 15.0 by 12.2 inches (HWD), it has almost the same footprint as the Editors' Choice in this category, the Dell 1250c Color LED Printer . Where the Dell printer offers a USB connection only, however, the CLP-365W adds both Ethernet and Wi-Fi, so you can easily share it over a network. It also supports Wi-Fi Direct for easy connection as needed to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

The 150-sheet capacity, with no automatic duplexer (for two-sided printing), may well be enough for any given micro office, but it's suitable only for light-duty use.
