Lexmark MS331dn
Lexmark’s compact mono laser is a decent all-rounder, but it’s not up there with the best

If you want a small mono laser for your office, Lexmark’s MS331dn looks like a fine candidate. With a 38ppm engine, it promises a healthy turn of speed, particularly given it’s affordable at well under £150.
If you’re au fait with printer naming conventions, you’ll know that the “D” in this model means it has automatic duplex printing. The “N” reveals there’s also a network port, although this model doesn’t support Wi-Fi networks – you’ll need the MS331dw for that, which costs about another £35. Wired networking is good enough for most offices, although having Wi-Fi leaves you with more flexibility in where you put a printer.
