In addition to Lexmark's standard printer drivers, you also get emulation for HP's PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 and Adobe's PostScript 3 and Portable Document Format (PDF). Like all the Lexmark printers I’ve looked at lately, this one supports a slew of operating systems and platforms, including Windows 7 through 10, Windows Server, Terminal Server, Apple AirPrint and AirScan, and various Linux, Citrix, and Novell iterations. Finally, Epson's bulk-ink laser alternative, the WorkForce Pro WF-M5299 Monochrome Printer, is much heftier and bulkier than all the mid-volume laser devices I've seen recently.
HP's LaserJet Pro M404dn is awfully close to the same size and girth, too, while that company's recent bulk-toner product, the Neverstop Laser 1001nw, is significantly smaller and about five pounds lighter. Small, Lean, and MeanĪt 8.7 by 14.5 by 14.2 inches (HWD) and weighing 20.6 pounds, the MS431dw's footprint is within an inch here or there of several competing single-function machines, including the Canon LBP226dw I just mentioned. These and a few other factors are enough to elevate the Lexmark MS431dw to an Editors' Choice as our latest favorite midrange monochrome printer for offices that need to print several thousand pages each month. If you shop around for the Lexmark's toner cartridges, you can easily match or beat the Canon model's per-page cost of consumables, and the Lexmark's suggested monthly print volume is twice that of the LBP226dw. Its paper input capacity and expansion options are also the same. A little beefier than last year's Editors' Choice (Canon's similarly priced, entry-level imageClass LBP226dw), the MS431dw churns out great-looking output at comparable speeds. Lexmark's recently released MS431dw ($299) is a midrange to high-volume single-function (print only) monochrome laser printer made for midsize offices and workgroups.
