Printers with wireless functionality
Justin Yu,
April 30, 2008
Printer manufacturers are finally starting to recognize the need for a wireless solution in their mobile printers, home office all-in-ones, and SMB workhorses. We've recently seen a push to get rid of wires entirely with printers that feature a built-in 802.11 b/g print server. Others simply give the consumer the option to buy an external adapter to add wireless networking capabilities. Either way, getting this feature will definitely add a few bucks to the final pricetag, but prospective shoppers that absolutely hate cords will be happy to see the following printers.

| The Bottom Line | The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don't expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs. | The HP Photosmart D7460 offers compelling features--including a touch screen--for home users, but the competition offers better print quality. | HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker. |
