Notes:

Except for the Energy Star column, a blank means we were unable to track down the information.

Many printers come in several models with extra letters or symbols attached to the model number.  This table omits most of those.

The duplex speed is as reported by the manufacturer.  The printing speed in simplex and duplex is slowed down by complicated pages.

means that the printer meets the criteria of the Energy Star program.

Some of the prices are from manufacturers and some from local distributors.  Manufacturers may change prices and prices can vary among distributors. 

Monthly Images is the manufacturer's rating for the maximum recommended use.  Few people use their printer anywhere near these volumes.

Paper Weight is the minimum paper weight the printer is rated to operate with.  We aren't recommening 16 lb. paper (though if you are inclined to try it, let us know what you find out), but are looking forward to the wide availability of 18 lb. paper.
