The good news: RefurbDepot.com has the Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer for $125.95, which is a pretty sweet bargain. The bad news: It's a slowpoke, and output quality is just so-so. So says CNET, anyway, which rated the printer 6.3/10.

Of course, given that an entry-level monochrome laser will run you around $100, why not spend a little extra so you can churn out color prints when the mood strikes? The CLP-300 does have a 150-sheet input tray, easy-access toner canisters, and a relatively compact design (15.4 x 13.5 x 10.4 inches). Alas, there's no network interface, only USB.

Although it's a refurb, it comes in a factory-sealed box with all-new supplies and a 90-day warranty. If you've been looking for a cheap color laser, well, you've found one.
