Connecting a printer to your PC or network doesn't mean you have to worry about finding the right cables and hooking everything up. Instead, why not use Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, or NFC for simple, clutter-free connections to all your devices? To help you decide which wireless printer is right for you, we've rounded up a bunch of the best for a variety of uses and environments.
Color laser printing: HP LaserJet Pro M254dw
