Best Printers Under $300

Frequently asked questions

What is the best printer under $300?

Under $300 covers strong home-office all-in-ones, colour lasers and high-volume ink-tank printers. The best pick is the one whose running cost and features fit your volume — sort by cost per page to find the cheapest to run, and check the duplex/ADF columns for office features.

Is a laser or ink-tank printer better under $300?

Both keep running costs low: laser toner suits text-heavy offices, while an ink-tank suits mixed text and colour or photo work. The table lists each model’s type and real cost per page so you can weigh them side by side rather than by category alone.

What features should I expect under $300?

At this price most all-in-ones include automatic double-sided printing and an automatic document feeder for scanning multi-page originals, plus wireless. The table flags which models have duplex and an ADF so you’re not paying for a name without the features.
