Lanier LP025n

The software installation for the Lanier was easy; network setup was automatic once the IP address has been entered into the printer I had no problems with the menus.

This machine was slightly ahead of the rest on average speed, and it was average in terms of maximum pages per minute. Despite being unable to print our large photo file in PostScript mode (due to lack of memory in the base model), the LP025n still managed to rate very well on print quality, equalling the PagePro and coming very close to the HL-6050DN.

Optional extras include an envelope feeder, up to two extra 500-sheet trays and, of course, duplex printing. Toner is rather expensive, although the machine price is average for those reviewed. And it's reasonably easy on electricity. Parallel port, USB2, and network options are available; it can also connect to your network via Bluetooth.
