Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a
printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its
ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of
ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month)
times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge).
Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular
cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per
month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The
monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pages
Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the
original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of
remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

PCWORLD.com Editors' review:
WHAT'S HOT: The Dell M5200n's $999 price tag
makes this one of the least expensive lasers printers
boasting corporate amenities. The M5200n is essentially
a relabeled Lexmark T630n, so we weren't surprised that
it's fast--we clocked it printing text at a fiery 22.9
pages per minute. The M5200n produced top-quality black
text, and it fared well on narrow parallel lines; it
even managed to print adequate gray-scale photos--a
tough challenge for monochrome lasers--even though the
pics weren't exactly attractive. It comes with built-in
ethernet and a 500-sheet paper tray, as well as a
100-sheet auxiliary tray, so your office can keep both
plain paper and letterhead loaded. The control panel's
LCD has hierarchical menus, and its clearly labeled
buttons always correspond to choices in the menu
commands. Operating the printer is easy, but if you get
lost, the thorough though somewhat rambling printed and
on-screen documentation offer guidance.
WHAT'S NOT: Dell's cryptic instructions
for network installation prompted us to set the printer
up in an unorthodox manner. Consequently, the M5200n was
very slow in our first round of tests. Recognizing that
those results were inconsistent with the performance of
its Lexmark twin, we reconfigured the network setup and
retested, giving us much better results. Also, the
driver supports watermarks and overlays, but only users
with sysadmin privileges can create them, which means
either your sysadmin will be overwhelmed with busywork
or your end users will have too much control over the
printer.
WHAT ELSE: Dell sells a full suite of
optional equipment to expand the M5200n's paper-handling
capabilities, including a $249 duplexer, a $229 envelope
feeder, and a 500-sheet feeder that costs $229 and can
be stacked four-high to boost total paper capacity to
2600 sheets. Dell's estimated price per page for toner
is modest, ranging from 1.05 cents per page to 1.41
cents per page, depending on which cartridge you buy.
UPSHOT: If your business needs
high-throughput printing, the M5200n would be a good
fit.
