For $70 shipped, this brand-new MFP is too good to pass up.

Now here's a deal for home-office and small-business users: Newegg.com has the Brother MFC-465cn multifunction printer on sale for $69.99 shipped. It's a new unit, not a refurb, and you don't have to deal with a single rebate.

Though quite a compact unit, the MFC-465cn packs in mucho features, including a 2-inch color LCD, media-card slots, a bypass tray that accommodates 4x6-inch photo paper, a 10-page auto document feeder, and an Ethernet interface. (Too bad it's not wireless; that would be icing on the cake.) Brother promises print speeds of up to 30 pages per minute for black and 25 ppm for color.

I own last year's version of this printer, the 440cn, and it's a workhorse. I particularly like the four-cartridge ink system, which lets you replace individual colors as necessary. The handful of CNET user reviews are largely positive.

The best price I've found elsewhere on the 465cn is $100, so you're definitely getting a steal here. Grab one before they sell out!
