Epson Stylus Photo R1900
Epson's Stylus Pro R1900 13-inch-wide photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink, or advanced photographers who want to print large, but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 1 min/page, 1.5 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

Brother MFC-685cw
The Brother MFC-685CW inkjet multifunction printer offers tons of great features at the expense of print speed and quality. If speed and quality are your priorities, look elsewhere.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi, Corded handset

Canon ImageClass MF4270
If your office printing, scan, and fax needs run to the basic, the Canon ImageClass MF4270 is a good fit, with brisk task speeds and consistent output quality.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 1200 dpi

Canon Pixma MP970
The Canon Pixma MP970 isn't up to the company's usually high standards. You're better off spending more for last year's version.
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 x 4800 dpi

Canon Pixma MX700
The Canon Pixma MX700 is a great choice for small offices with a wide variety of print tasks. This inkjet multifunction beats out the competition with a winning combination of features and performance.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

Canon Pixma iP4500
The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a bit too expensive for basic home users, but those who do a bit more printing than the occasional e-mail and map will be happy with its speed and quality.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB

HP LaserJet M2727nf
In a vacuum, the HP LaserJet 2727nf is a fine mono laser multifunction for small offices. But its price and feature set are out of whack with the competition: you can get more for the same money, or you can pay less for the same features.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 1200 x 1200 dpi

HP LaserJet M2727nfs
In a vacuum, the HP LaserJet 2727nf is a fine mono laser multifunction for small offices. But its price and feature set are out of whack with the competition: you can get more for the same money, or you can pay less for the same features.

Samsung ML-1630
The Samsung ML-1630 can't claim to be the best value among $200 mono laser printers--the competition offers faster print speeds and more features--but the ML-1630's aesthetic appeal is undeniable.
Specs: Personal printer - Laser - Monochrome, Letter A Size (8.5 in x 11 in), Wired, 16 pages/min, 17 pages/min, PC, USB
