HP also announced the Photosmart D5460, which features “a 1.5-inch color display, memory card slots, an auto-engaging photo tray and the ability to print photos and text directly onto CDs and DVDs.” The D5460 is available today for $99, although it’s not yet up on HP’s shopping website.

This competent color laser has both an attractive price and a sensible design.Konica Minolta's Magicolor 4650EN color laser printer competes well with other recently tested models in our rankings. It's a little less expensive but not quite as fast or full-featured as the Oki Printing Solutions C5500n. On the other hand, the like-priced Samung CLP-660ND is much slower. For smaller offices or workgroups, the Magicolor 4650EN would be a solid choice.

In our tests, this Konica Minolta printer posted competent midrange speeds of 23.1 pages per minute for plain text and 3.9 ppm for graphics. Text samples looked black and clean. Graphics looked detailed. Photos had a yellowish cast that was distracting at times.

The Konica Minolta 2530DL is a compact color laser with built-in networking features. At approx. $399 (as of July 11, 2008), it costs $100 less than its predecessor, the 2430DL, did at release, and it offers a few improvements, including increased memory and lower accessory costs.

The 2530DL doubles the internal memory to 64MB, which enabled us to print high-resolution photos successfully from a digital camera attached to the printer's front-mounted PictBridge port. Without an expensive memory upgrade, however, the 2430DL could print only in draft mode.

Like all GDI-based printers, the 2530DL depends on your PC to render its pages. Konica Minolta provides a driver that lets the 2530DL work with Macs as well as with Windows PCs. The simple control panel includes a two-line LCD that's simplifies the task of entering setup parameters, such as the image quality and image size to use when printing from the PictBridge port.

Well, what do you know! Color laser printers are finally affordable for smaller companies as well. Hell, sure has frozen over!

The Samsung CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest laser printer, which you definitely won't find hard to believe considering that regular color laser printers are big enough to shelter a homeless person. This one, on the other hand, occupies as much desk space as any regular desktop laser printer with it's 13.4x15.4x10.5 inch body, which makes it especially great for small office use. It weighs 30lbs, but I don't see how that will affect anyone's buying decision.
