Abstract narrowing funnel illustration in magenta and pale pink on white — decorative header for Printer Finder: Match a Printer to What You Print

Printer finder: four questions, matched against the spec sheet

What kind of printer, how fast, how it connects and what else it has to do. Every result is a printer reviewed on this site, and the review is one click away.

The finder searches every product reviewed on this site. It does not rank them by anything we were paid to prefer, and it does not hide one because its listing is incomplete — a listing that never states a figure still appears, labelled not stated, because an incomplete listing is not a worse product.

Your requirements

What are you shopping for?

Speed only means something within a type — a label printer and an office laser do not print the same thing — so the class medians below are always computed inside one.

How fast does it need to be?

Pages per minute as the maker publishes it, which is measured on plain text at default quality. Photos and heavy graphics are always slower, often by a lot.

How should it connect?

Listings usually name several. USB is nearly universal; Wi-Fi is what lets a phone print; Ethernet is what an office wants; Bluetooth is how most label printers pair.

What does it need to do?

An all-in-one prints, scans and copies; fax is rarer and usually only on office machines. A listing that names one function is usually a printer that does one thing.

Automatic two-sided printing

Only listings that state automatic duplex are shown when this is ticked. Absence means the maker did not say, not that you cannot turn the paper over yourself.

How to read the results

The figure on the right of each result is its speed in pages per minute, and beneath it how far that sits from the median for its own type and speed class. The published figure is measured on plain text at default quality, so treat it as a ceiling: photos and heavy graphics are slower, often by a lot. The bar shows where the printer sits across its class, with the median marked.

Where a class holds fewer than eight products, no comparison is shown. That is a deliberate limit, not a missing feature. Read the review under each result opens this site’s review of that product; Check price on Amazon opens the listing.

Why incomplete listings still appear

Every figure here is the manufacturer’s, as quoted in the review. A filter that dropped everything it could not confirm would discard much of the catalogue the moment you answered, and what it discarded would not be worse products, only less completely described ones. So a filter excludes a product only when its listing positively contradicts what you asked for.

The catalogue is 603 printers at the time of writing, and coverage of the questions varies: speed by 72%, connectivity by 98%, functions by 88%, Automatic two-sided printing by 18%. Those are the manufacturers’ own publishing habits, not gaps we chose to leave.

What the finder cannot tell you

It cannot tell you what a page costs to print, because that depends on cartridge yield and street prices that move weekly and this site does not track them. It cannot tell you how good a photo looks, because that is a judgement from holding the print. And it cannot tell you whether the driver will behave on your operating system, which is the complaint printers actually generate.
