HL-3150
The workgroup answer to the entry-level 3140, the Brother HL-3150 adds automatic two-sided printing and a wired Ethernet port to the 18 ppm color engine — while skipping Wi-Fi entirely. It's the right pick for offices with established wired networks and 64MB of memory to handle typical business documents. TN221/TN225 toner cartridges power it, with high-yield TN225 for busier months.
