Hewlett-Packard Co and Epson America Inc have introduced lower- priced laser printers aimed at the small-to-midsize workgroup market.

The Enhanced LaserJet 5 and 5M are expected to sell for $4,000 and $5,200 respectively. Epson introduced two new black-and-white laser printers, the EPL-N1200, capable of 12 pages per minute, and the EPLN2000, capable of 20 pages per minute – priced at $1,100 and $1,900 respectively. The new products from both companies are available now through their usual distribution channels.
