The Bottom Line: The HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer is the same printer as the HP CLJ 2600n with fewer features. Unlike the 2600n, the 1600 is not network ready and can be connected only via USB. Finally, the CLJ 1600 printer is compatible only with Windows-based PCs; the 2600n works with both PCs and Macs. Because both models use the same processor and memory, performance and print quality should be the same, so our assessment of those aspects of the 2600n stand for the 1600 as well. With its basic features and smaller price tag (about $299), the HP CLJ 1600 is better suited for home office environments. Read review

The Bottom Line: The HP LaserJet 2400 series is designed to support an office or workgroup of up to five people. We reviewed the one-person 2420d, with its built-in duplexer to print on two sides of a page. A t in the model name signifies an extra paper tray, and an n stands for networkability. Read review
