Printers

Lexmark Z2420
With so many other inexpensive photo inkjets on the market today, we can't recommend the Lexmark z2420--it's prone to paper jams, prints at a snail's pace, and produces unacceptable quality prints.

Samsung ML-2851ND
Small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's monolaser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, autoduplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.
Specs: Workgroup printer - Laser - Monochrome, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 30 pages/min, 28 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Ethernet 10/100Base-TX

Kodak ESP 3
The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet

HP Officejet J6480
The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features that are rarely found included in a $200 printer. Shoppers looking for an all-inclusive multifunctional unit will be impressed with the robust hardware and rich print quality.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 dpi

Canon Pixma iP100
It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 4 in x 6 in, Wired, Wireless, 20 pages/min, 14 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared

Canon Pixma MX7600
The Canon Pixma MX7600 multifunction is a huge improvement over the previous model. With additional features such as an autoduplexer, increased faxing options, and an upgraded control cockpit, we have no problem recommending the MX7600.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 9600 x 4800 dpi

HP Officejet H470wf Mobile Printer
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.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Wired, Wireless, PC, Mac, USB, 802.11b, 802.11g

HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer
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.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB

HP Officejet H470b Mobile Printer
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.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Wired, Wireless, PC, Mac, USB, Bluetooth

Dell Multifunction Monochrome Laser Printer 1125
Aside from a few complaints, we like the Dell 1125's overall package. The reasonable price tag also helps. We would recommend the Dell 1125 as a sensible solution for shoppers in the market for a text-specific all-in-one.
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 600 dpi
