Colour Laser with Duplex

Hi all

What would people recommend it's for home use so not going to get absolutely hammered small footprint and affordable consumables would be nice as would network printing.

Cheers

Recommend the HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M281fdw A4 Colour Multifunction Laser Printer

I bought a laserjet M181fw... quite similar model. Pretty happy just the running costs

Any of the Brother printers would be my choice. They are cheap to buy, 3rd-party toner is cheap as chips, and they are pretty reliable. We buy them for work as throw-away deskside printers with the idea that as soon as something, anything goes wrong with them we will just bin it and buy another. I've yet to bin a single one.......

Had Lexmark printers for the last 7 years and they have all been excellent.

Definitely don't want the multi function bits small is key! My ancient Samsung ML-1710 is the perfect size but realise I may need to go slightly bigger for colour and duplex.

These seem to fit the bill small foot print, cheap to buy and reliable. I've previously had a colour inkjet alongside my laser but we print colour so infrequently that the ink is always dried up in it meaning a new set of cartridges is needed!
