All Printers

The Bottom Line: Kodak packs a host of features in the EasyShare 5500, but fails to flesh them out sufficiently. We found this all-in-one printer frustrating to use.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet

The Bottom Line: The HP Deskjet 460c printer is a boon if you're constantly on the go and absolutely need to be able to print from wherever you are. The option of Wi-Fi printing gives it a slight edge over the competition.

The Bottom Line: The HP Deskjet D4260 is a good choice for home users looking for a basic printer that's good enough for projects like school reports, but that won't break the bank.

The Bottom Line: The Canon Selphy CP740 offers a decent feature package and quality prints for an inexpensive compact photo printer. Casual snapshooters will be satisfied with this, but users who need more features should look elsewhere.

Specs: Compact photo printer - Dye sublimation - Color, 4 in x 8 in, Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

The Bottom Line: The Canon Pixma MP470 offers good print speeds, great text and graphics print quality, and useful features for a low price. This $100 multifunction printer trumps all of its budget competitors with printer quality; we highly recommend it for home users on a budget.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line: The Lexmark X4550 offers what most all-in-ones in this price range don't: wireless networking. Casual home users who value network-readiness will love that feature, but users who want better print quality will be happier with a different machine.

The Bottom Line: Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.
