Best Laser Printers of 2026: 10 Compared

This is the most complete machine on the list, which is why it earns the top rank. It prints, scans, copies, and faxes at up to 35 black-and-white pages per minute, and HP Wolf Pro Security adds customizable protection that most rivals here skip. Intelligent Wi-Fi keeps it online and ready, and you can print from any phone, tablet, or PC.

If you want color laser output and the longest feature list here, this is the one. It prints, scans, and copies professional-quality color documents using next-generation TerraJet toner, with an automatic document feeder, auto 2-sided printing, and a 250-sheet input tray. It runs Original HP 218A standard or 218X high-yield cartridges, so a long-life toner option exists.

Brother's DCP-L2640DW combines a laser printer, copier, and scanner in a compact body, landing it at number three. It prints up to 36 ppm and scans at up to 23.6/7.9 ipm for black and color, with built-in dual-band wireless and the Brother Mobile Connect app for remote control. It takes Brother Genuine TN830 or TN830XL toner when refills come around.

At around 15 pounds, the HL-L2405W is a tidy single-function printer aimed squarely at home use. It focuses on consistent, premium black-and-white print quality with flexible connection options and the Brother Mobile Connect app for printing from a phone. Brother backs it with a 1-year limited warranty and free support for the life of the printer.

Our best-value choice weighs just about 9 pounds and is billed as the world's smallest laser in its class, so it slots into spaces an all-in-one never could. It prints up to 21 pages per minute and includes wireless with self-reset to keep the connection steady. There's no scanner or copier here, but for sharp laser text on a budget it's hard to beat.

For color output without the all-in-one bulk, the 3201dw focuses on fast color printing with auto 2-sided printing and a 250-sheet input tray. Like its color sibling it uses next-generation TerraJet toner for more vivid pages, and dual-band Wi-Fi with self-reset detects and fixes connection hiccups on its own. There's no scanner or copier, so this one is for buyers who only print.

Canon's MF665Cdw is the only Canon on the list and a full color all-in-one that prints, scans, copies, and faxes. It runs at up to 26 ppm in color and monochrome with a first-print time of roughly 10.3 seconds, and a 5-inch color touchscreen plus the Application Library make it easy to drive. Mobile printing covers the Canon Print app, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria, and it carries a 3-year limited warranty.

Built for home offices and small teams, the HL-L2460DW is a single-function monochrome printer that adds automatic duplex to keep paper use down. It connects over dual-band wireless, Ethernet, or USB, and its 250-sheet tray plus manual feed slot handle higher-volume jobs and envelopes. The Brother Mobile Connect app rounds out remote printing, all backed by a 1-year warranty.

The 3001dw is a single-function black-and-white printer that punches above its size on speed, hitting up to 35 pages per minute with auto 2-sided printing. It includes HP Wolf Pro Security with customizable settings, a feature usually reserved for pricier machines, and Intelligent Wi-Fi keeps it connected. There's no scanner, so this is for buyers who print a lot and value fast, secure output.

Brother's MFC-L2820DW pairs compact dimensions with a full set of office tools: print, copy, scan, and fax. It moves at up to 36 ppm and scans at up to 23.6/7.9 ipm, and a 2.7-inch touchscreen makes navigation and cloud scanning simple. Dual-band wireless and the Brother Mobile Connect app handle the connectivity, making it a tidy choice for a small office.
