Best Printers for Quietest

cons: a little loud when printing (but nearly silent when idle).

it's a little noisy while it's going, but it's nice and silent in sleep mode.

this printer is fairly compact, fast, very energy efficient, silent in sleep mode and produces excellent printed pages.

cons: it's fairly noisy during startup and when printing (although when not being used it goes into a silent sleep mode).

it doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner when it's running and idles silently.

this has been the quietest and fastest printer i've ever had and will ever need.

pros: best-looking b&w laser printer with lowest profile, touch-screen type controls and quietest operation of any laser i've owned.

it prints very fast, the type/images are crisp and clear, and its totally silent when its in sleep mode.

silent when idle - the fan runs for a bit after printing (quiet), and then shuts off.

it runs silent in standby mode, and when you send something to print, it kicks on, and prints.

silent when at idle.

the thing is almost silent despite the fax ringer/button noises it makes, but those are very easy to turn off.

noisy for a printer when turning on, silent otherwise.

my hp printer at home is always on, but perfectly silent all the time except when it's printing.

pros: great price, compact size, silent operation, speedy output, sharp printing.

cons: its kinda loud when its in standby but its silent afterwards.
