If you’re putting together a new home office, either because of the need to self-isolate due to the novel coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) or simply because you’re working from home more often, you need to have a printer.
Printers might not be in as much demand as they once were, thanks to the rise of digital contracts and documents, but they’re useful to have. Generally, when someone requires you to print something, they really need you to print it. Fortunately, a good home office printer doesn’t have to cost a fortune with plenty of great printer deals out there. We’ve looked more closely at two great options currently on sale that are perfect for the average home office.

Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer — $90, was $120
If you need to print a high volume of documents, you need a laser printer both for speed and value for money. The Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer is a great bet and it’s only $90 right now at Amazon.
