Our take on the Canon imageCLASS LBP236dw Laser Printer

The imageCLASS LBP236dw is a monochrome laser printer built for small offices and busy home desks. It prints at up to 40 pages per minute, connects over Wi-Fi or USB, and supports automatic duplex printing. Compared with color laser rivals, it trades color output for speed and lower running costs per page. Owners like the fast first page and steady output; some find the setup and toner notifications less friendly than they expected.
