Who makes a quality color laser?
- jqpabc123 4y agoCanon, HP and Brother all have them. I chose a Canon for it's ability to do 2-sided duplex printing and collating in a compact design for small office use (up to 5 people). I recommend looking for "office" instead of "home". The manufacturers seem aware of the fact that business people have low tolerance for unreliable crap.
- kurupt213 4y agoThanks. Good point in the commercial grade search.

- massysett 4y agoI have a ~$400 HP with a flatbed scanner and sheet feeder, no complaints. Works well with Windows, Mac GUI apps, Mac CLI, Linux, iOS, and Chromebook. Use the generic Post Script driver for Mac CLI printing with lp, not Air Print, as the duplexer won’t work with Air Print and CLI apps (for instance I print groff PS files.) Works fine with Mac GUI apps and Air Print. IPv6 completely locked it up. It would reboot over and over. This happened after changing my home router to one with full ipv6 support. Disabling ipv6 on the printer fixed it. It could be that subsequent firmware updates fixed this but I haven’t checked. I use only genuine HP toner. No way I am trusting random toner from the flea market—er, Amazon. HP Color Laser Jet MFP 281cdw
