HL-3140
Brother's smallest color laser printer of its generation, the HL-3140 keeps things simple: 18 ppm color printing with Wi-Fi and USB, and no wired Ethernet. Two-sided printing is manual, so this one suits light-duty users who value compact size and low price over bells and whistles. TN221/TN225 toner — opt for the high-yield TN225 to cut running costs for everyday printing.
