review

If it's time for a new laser printer for your small office or home office, you can get a color laser for $300. But if you don't need color, you can spend the same amount on the Dell Laser Printer 1720dn ($299 direct) and get fast performance, a network connector, and paper handling that's impressive for a small office.

Bottom Line

The Dell Laser Printer 1720dn offers good speed, reasonably high-quality text, a network connector, and good paper handling, but it fumbles a bit on graphics quality.

Pros

Fast. Network connector. Reasonably high-quality text. Good paper handling. Built-in duplexer.

Cons

Graphics show notable flaws, making them less than ideal for business use.
