Our Verdict
HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn
Canon imageCLASS MF242dw
The HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn and the Canon imageCLASS MF242dw are both monochrome laser printers, but the Canon is an all-in-one unit that includes a flatbed scanner, while the HP is a printer-only unit. The HP has much faster print speeds, a larger input tray capacity, and a significantly higher page yield. The Canon has a marginally lower cost-per-print and many more wireless connectivity options.
